What do Calibre termination codes mean???
Hello all! I recently updated my PDK, and now everytime I run a DRC or an LVS I get the following message at end of the Calibre Interactive transcript, in red letters:
*** Calibre finished with Exit Code: 1 ***
I don't remember seeing this message with the old PDK version, so I tried to search in the documentation what this exit code mean, but was unable to find any information. Could somebody please refer me to where the various Calibre exit codes are explained?
(Note: of course, I'd like to know what code 1 particularly means, but I also would like to know what all the other codes mean, for future reference!).
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Jorge.
P.S. I'm using Calibre v2014.4_28.20.
Re: Design Attribute Parsing in Title Block
Hello Vamsi
To confirm my understanding:
You have created a PlaceHolder Property in Capital Symbol to place the value of the Revision field on the diagram.
The contents of the Revision field is "Alpha,2631".
I believe that the entire contents of the field will be displayed, there is no way to parse the contents of the field.
The only workaround that comes to mind is to make the contents of the Revision field be "Alpha" and place the remaining "2631" into the Short Description field. Then you can control which one (or both) are displayed.

Pat
Cross-Probe Between DxDesigner and Autoactive PCB Browser
To do a proper Review of a PCB it is essential that there is a cross probing functionality between DxDesigner and Autoactive PCB Browser.
What do you think or how do you do your Layout reviews ?
in me opinion:
- the visECAD viewer is not a usefull tool to do a review- We can`t affort an expensive PCB License just for engineers to do reviews.

Re: Problem entering service request for a transfer of licence.
Hi Doug,
I recommend trying a different browser to what you're using. If the problem persists, call our Support Hotline (see link below for details):

Re: What do Calibre termination codes mean???
Hi Jorge-
Exit codes come from operating system problems. The lines before the exit code should provide a clue; from some of the technotes on SupportNet, it could be out of memory, that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH has the wrong version of a library first, or that the license server does not have enough licenses.
Hope that helps-
Sam.

How do you pronounce "decal"?
One of our PCB designers pronounces it "deckle". Is that normal?

How to count the total Licensing time in a week for a feature
Do you know how to count the total Licensing time in a week for a feature.
Take viewdraw.exe for example: In a week, 12 users were licensed, 6 of them were licensed for 2 hours per day, the other 6 were licensed for 4 hours per day,
then the total Licensing time in a week would be 6*5*2 + 6*5*4 = 180 hours. Note there are only 5 work days in a week.
I wanna know how often our license has been used.
Re: How to know how many variants are there in a specified prj by VBS
Hi, try this
if variant manager is open you can use the code below , otherwise you have to open the variant manager by script
Set DXDApp = GetObject(, "viewdraw.Application")
Set VMaddin = DXDApp.AddIns("Variant Manager")
Set vmdoc = VMaddin.Control.VariantGuiApplication.VMDocument
Set vmvar = vmdoc.Variants
Debug.Print vmvar.Count
Re: How do you pronounce "decal"?
It is pronounced with a long 'e' as in phonetically 'deekal'
Re: How to know how many variants are there in a specified prj by VBS
Hi, Juergen
I try your script when the variant manager is open, the code is perfect, thank you so much
However I have to think about how to open the variant manager by script
I've tried Example 1-1. Variant Manager Addin from mentor's help document, but I can run their script in the Script Form called from Viewdraw.exe, when I put the example scripts in my own vbs file, it failed to run, and the command line give the following tips:
Error: 0x800a01f4, the variant Addins is not defined
Please help on this
or
Do you have other scripts for opening the variant manager?
