Try this code;

 

Sub Main

'This will search all routesegments in design for protected status

'if true it adds net to selection status then control "H" add highlight

'to selected nets "N" will remove highlight from all nets afetwards.

  For Each objroute In ActiveDocument.RouteSegments
    If objroute.protected = true Then objroute.net.selected = True
  Next objroute
End Sub


Re: Tracking Mentor Product licenses in FlexNet Manager

Hi,

 

You appear to have SI BSim GHz, SI LSim GHz plus the "combination product" SI PI Bundle which includes both BSim / LSim and other options e.g. DC Drop.  (I'll admit that's a simplified description!)

 

Your floating licenses are flexible - so it is not possible to identify whether one users "BSim" license is from the BSim product or the PI bundle.  in fact, it does not really matter.

 

If you are only running out of "hypbswsiext_c" licenses, then you probably need more "HyperLynx SI BSim GHz" licenses.  If you also get "denied" messages for other licenses, speak to your account team to work out what is the best product to give you the additional licenses you need.

 

Regards,

 

David

Have a look at the "select by pin count" script that comes with PADS. It is almost what you are looking for, but with a minor change it can do what you want.

Thank You.  I got balled up with whether to select nets, pinpairs or what.

I figured there was a least common denominator.

Try enabling just gates in the Selection Toolbar, enter R* in the text box and press enter.  This will select all the reference designators matching R. You clan also click the drop-down arrow that appears to see what is in the list of items that was selected. If you are just opening Logic, make sure to manually select at least one item before performing this procedure.

Hello,

 

Another way is to select certain components are in PADS Layout go into Find dialog and select either Ref. Designator and select "R"; select R1, 4, ,9,12 in Action change to Highlight. Another way is also be in Find and select either by Part Type or Decal.

Good evening Travis, 

 

Many thanks for the detailed response.  Following your outline, I was able to get the line and arc elements into Symbol Editor and from there copy and paste into my Border Symbol.  Perfect! :-)

i have 2 nets thet are diff pairs but becouse of theparralel resistor it got electrical net and i can not defind it as diff pair

how can delete the electrical connection and mark it as 2 seperete nets?


DesignCapture VX1.2 with Automation Layer?

$

Hi All,

 

We will switch soon from 7.9.4 to VX1.2 and so I'm wondering, if DC (DesignCapture) VX 1.2 did have an automation layer?

I did not found any COM Reference jet.

Is there a automation available ?

Do you mean you have a SERIES resistor that is forcing a different net name at each end?

It seems like a parallel resistor across the two nets of the pair would still leave you two nets to define as "+" and "-"

Hi,

 

Can someone help me to understand?

 

Vesys database is opened by default while launching vesys components, but I would like to use my local database for my training purpose without disturbing company database.

 

how can I remove default database without disturbing database in server and create/import new database locally?

 

 

Thanks,

Jagadhees.

HI David,

I need some help getting the new 3D engine going in PADS VX1.2. I am not finding the add on's to the LIC file m3dplugin and m3dpdfoutput. Can you help

no

you can not define 2 nets that are parts of one electrical nen in CES as diff pair

what i needis to seperete the 2 nets

Hi Ken,

 

this may be due to the Via definition in the Setup > Setup Parameters > Via Definitions tab.

Check the layer range compared with the stackup. If it's wrong, delete the via and re-define.

More information in technote mg546128

Hi Michi,

 

Design Capture has always had it's own Procedural Interface (DC-PI).

Why is automation for DC of interest now that you are switching from 7.9.4 to VX.1.2 ?

how to control RNOM for hybrid connector on Saber netlisting for terminals

$

All,

 

I want to run export a Saber netlist in CHS.

 

I have a hybrid connector with 2 values for the terminal resistance:

 

                   connector property                               value

 

Pin1:          RNOM-1                                                 3m

Pin2:          RNOM-2                                                 6m

 

SaberNetlister.properties file:

 

##                      Automatically Generated Models                    ##

 

generated.connector.default.mast.model=r

generated.connector.default.mast.properties=RNOM=1m     ( example for default value )

default.resistor.model=r

default.resistor.model.pin1=p

default.resistor.model.pin2=m

default.MAST.properties=RNOM

default.MAST.properties.isRNOM=true

 

----------

 

Saber netlist output file example:

 

r.R_C3DC57_C_1 \

   p:C3DC57_C_1 \

   m:C3DC57_C_1_ = RNOM=1m     ( example from default value )

 

--------------

 

How can I command that RNOM values will be used from CHS hybrid connector properties to dedicated terminal resistance values.

 

thanks,

Hi Jacki,

 

our engineers have some "interesting" ideas.... one of them is to rename everey XSIG net to the name of attached Testpoint. At the Moment I read out this information from pcb. But for this it must be synchronized.

2nd is, we have a component attribute "Status" whis is corresponding with SAP-Parts Status. This one can be empty. With normal reload Parts from Lib, DC deletes not Properties, that did not exist anymore.

For Instance. Part have Status "do not order", changes to "free", this old Status Value will not delete from Part.

Adding a "new" Status works.

Re: Can Capital automate crimping tool settings based on wire terminal pairs?

Hello Sherwin,

 

I assume your question applies to the Capital HarnessXC domain; in this case, while we are not providing out-of-the-box calculations, they may be modeled using a Processing plugin (see "Harness Processing Extensibility" in InfoHub), according to the customer’s rules. Indeed, the harness definition data is available and can be queried in the API; one would need to understand what the expected output is, so as to understand where to store the resultant data: is it a report in which to display the results? Also we would need to understand the calculations formula used?

 

I am attaching a couple of slides on this taken from the Capital 2014.1 What's New deck.

We've moved this from PCB to the Harness Engineering community where it seems to be a better fit.

Hi John, I've moved your question to the PADS layout sub-community where it should get a faster response.
