Part Quest Error.

Hi all,

 

Am currently using pads Standard plus Bundle SW. I thought of downloading components from digikey via partquest, but i face some difficuilty.

Process followed:

1. I created login in part-quest and the Digi key.

2. Selected the flow type and downloaded the integration utility.

3. Gave path to store the selected component, extracted the downloaded component and it created a separate folder with symbols and footprint etc..

4. Opened the DX-Designer and TOOLS -> import part-quest parts,

 

Then i get the error message as mentioned below:

How to update license file on solaris server for MENTOR

HI,

 

i have to update a license file on our MENTOR server, it's a virtual machine on a Solaris server.

I have my new license file but i don't find the procedure to upload and validate it on server.

 

Thanks for your help

Re: Part Quest Error.

I am guessing - but have you tried downloading a new license file?

Maybe a new feature is required in the license file in order to use Parts Quest?

Flotherm 9.3 - rotating sub-assemblies

Hi,

 

I'm trying to rotate a sub-assembly containing several cuboids, a monitor point and a volume region. After rotation, it seems that the absolute coordinates of the objects inside the assembly got interchanged and I have no clue how to get them in the right order again.

 

I think it's easier to understand if I illustrate my problem:

 

Here is my assembly before rotation (showing the "location" dialog of a cuboid inside the assembly):

After rotation:

Please notice that e.g. the X-coordinates of the size property are still the same after rotation (although I've re-opened the dialog box).

Is this intended or is it a bug? Is there a way to rotate sub-assemblies without messing their absolute coordinates?

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Partitioned symbols

Hello!

 

I would like to know as I can build a symbol, for example: the Engine Junction Box (EJB).

 

I need to use the EJB in almost all pages, actually a part of EJB in each page. How do I build it so that appears only one symbol on the layout (topology)?

 

I have a example below.

I would like to use the part A in one schematic and the part B in another schematic, but they are the same symbol. How Do I do it? I can not tell that they are the same symbol.

 

Could you explain the process, please?

 

Thanks,

HKP File will not import into Library at mirror site

Has anyone an idea on how to fix the following problem, we have created a part in our library and exported it to a hkp file.

We have then sent this file to our mirror site (in china) for them to import into there copy of the library.

(for adding a few parts or cells this (used to be) a better way than keep sending complete libraries).

Now when they try to import parts (or cells) they get errors where usually it says unknown keyword - attached is file for latest parts showing error.

 

This method used to work find in 7.9.1 version of the software - but seems to now be a problem when we are all using VX 1.1 (Expedition Flow)

 

Because the hkp files are encrypted I cannot double check to see if the keyword in present or not.

 

Any ideas on how to fix this or what to check etc.

Thanks

Translation of Altium with Multi-Channel designs

Hello

 

as a consultant we heve following Situation. One of our customers uses Altium for schematic entry, we do the layout part in PADS VX1.2 ( for several reasons netlist flow)

Translating Altium to xDxDesigner does a pretty good job, with one exception, Multi-Chanel designs.

Our customer already does the annotation (packaging), for example in a design with 2 identical chanels, refenence designators Ch1_R1, Ch1_R2, Ch1_C1 for chanel 1 and Ch2_R1, Ch2_R2, Ch2_C1 for chanel two. The designators in the "master" are R1,R2,C1.

Because xDxDesigner uses the "logical" reference Designator from the altium schematic (the ones from the master block) and not the "physical" (the ones from the instaninated block)   it results in two chanel with identical, thus duplicate reference Designators R1,R2,C1, unable to forward to pcb.

As far as I know, there is no possibility (property) to assign a prefix for reference designator manually in netlist flow?

Does anybody know a Workaround for this?

 

Best regards

Erwin

Order of Component Decorations on Harness Design with Styling?

Hello,

 

Does anyone has a suggestion as to a way to control the order of component decorations on a harness design?

 

 

I want to style this ident. sleeve on top of the bundle and with a piece of text on it:

I have set up the piece of text as a styled property, but I still have to perform the following steps:

 

1) insert the part number:

Re: Error 179: Error reading file . Calibre RVE/LVS issue

FYI, changing the filesystem version to nfsv3 from nfsv4 fixed the issue. In case if anyone else is facing similar issue, this might be worth trying.

Re: PEX Pin Order

Hi Samantha

Thank you for the reply. I went through the relevant sections. Here is an example case that I am looking at. Suppose I have 5 pins A B C VSS and VDD in my design. I would like to direct calibre to generate a spectre netlist with pinorder say C A B VDD VSS. Based on what I understood for the user manual is that it is possible through templates, although I am not really sure about it. Any clarification provided would be useful.

 

Thanks and regards

Re: Variant - Library data preparation (7.9.4EE and newer)

problem in selected extraction

Hello,

I have an analog design and i am trying to extract the parasitics to do the post layout simulations. As the design is big, doing a transistor level extraction with "R+C+CC" takes time and yields a huge netlist which again takes a lot of time to simulate. My aim is to reduce the number of nets in the extracted list and so I want to do selected extraction.

 

I have the following 5 cells(four instances of "Stacked_cell_2_3" and one instance of "current_dac") in my layout and schematic for which I want to do only "R" type of extraction. To do so, from Calibre GUI I first generate just the PHDB, after that I create PDB multiple times with different nets and type of extractions. Finally I create the netlist.

 

Now, when in the top level nets i provide "XI21/?" or "XI11/?", it works fine. In the transcript I can see that all the nets of instance XI21 are selected for extraction. However, when I provide "XI22/?" or "XI12/?" or "XI10/?", I get the following error

 

WARNING: Cannot include toplevel net XI22/?. Names(s) not found in source.

 

FATAL ERROR: None of the specified nets was found.

 

excerpt from the source Netlist:

XI21 VSS Vd_4 Vdd Vg1 / Stacked_cell_2_3

XI11 VSS Vd_4 Vdd Vg1 / Stacked_cell_2_3

XI22 VSS Vd_4 Vdd Vg1 / Stacked_cell_2_3

XI12 VSS Vd_4 Vdd Vg1 / Stacked_cell_2_3

XI10 TX_PAD_PA_bc_b0 TX_PAD_PA_bc_b1 TX_PAD_PA_bc_b2 VSS TX_PAD_PA_Iref op1 Vdd_1 / current_dac
