Hello all, I am using DxDesigner PADS Flow. I am trying to forward my schematic changes to PADS PCB using DxDesigner Link. It falls over at stage 'Producing...
... Update... I turned of OATS in DxDesigner and now I can forward to PADS. That's OK I guess, I don't strictly need OATS in this design but other parts of...
I will be out of the office starting 05/06/2009 and will not return until 05/11/2009. I will be checking voicemail/email during the week at night so if you...
Hi, I'm using PADS Flow 2007.1, does anyone know if the parts lister can pick up annotate components and add them to a bom? I'm using some parts that I would...
Austin, How do you establish groups/classes and assign properties to that group in DxDesigner? Also, what's this CES? I don't see it on the install disk? Is...
Hi Tom, You can do it one of two ways. One is use the "attribute editor" which I will not use, as it assigns a whole mess of "stuff" aside from what I want ...
Yes I'm interested in Allegro. How do you assign properties to these classes, or can you do that? In your example, what if you wanted to add a spacing rule to...
The only part I'm not sure about is how to combine net properties with a net class. Can this be done? If so, can this be done in the schematic or is it some...
Hi Tom, I'd do that using ECSets. Here are some examples of constraints I assign on my schematics: How I do a matched length group is I assign this attribute...
All: I've got a 4 slot part that in a schematic that reverts back to to a 2 slot part every time I export a netlist (it adds another physical package, only...
Jason, When you are adding the parts to the schematic, are you sure each component is assigned to a different slot? I looked at your symbol and it looks...
Hi, I'm working on a design and I need to diff one version of schematics with another. Is there an easy way to show changes in schematics? I did a unix diff...
I have run into a situation where I have a component that I do not want to forward to the PCB Netlist OR the parts list. People are probably thinking, why even...
Hi, I have inherited a hierarchical design that doesn't have any duplicated hierarchical blocks. I'd like to get rid of my oats file and just operate in...
Jason, For what it's worth, I put four of your symbols on a sheet and PCBFWD gave me one package (U1). I copied the four and got a second, so it's working...
The way I do it is run a Perl script to format the netlist (hkp) files, and diff the outputs. Works for comparing SCH and Expedition PCB too. -Ivor ...
Hello All It's been a while since I have used DxDesigner....but I am back where I belong! I am working on a design and I have compiled a folder of PDF...
Keith Take a look at TechNote MG39738 on SupportNet... http://supportnet.mentor.com/reference/technotes/public/technote.cfm?tn=mg39738 Both the part list and...
I'm writing an automation script to basically take two schematic chunks on different sheets and put them on one sheet. I was using the View.BufferCopy and...
Hello, I've been programing forms and scripts for DxDesigner for a time now. What I haven't been able to do is adding components from DxDatabook using scripts....
I do the same. And then place a Hyperlink in the DxDatabook database under a field called Datasheet. Thanks, Vern Wnek, C.I.D. Manager, PCB Layout, ENG BU /...
I've searched through the topics in this Group and didn't find the answer to my question - Is there a standard set of guidelines adopted by the industry for...
David There are the IEEE and ANSI standards and the Japanese and European equivalents but they are cumbersome to use. I have had customers that use them and...
When outputting the partlist of a BOM from DXDesigner you get a refdes field where the component (I.E. R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,ETC.) appears in the excel spreadsheet....
I would like to find a way to have DXDesigner perform this function when it creates the BOM instead of having to manipulate the data everytime the BOM is...
