Re: Script under EE7.9.5
Though I have not tested it specifically with 7.9.5, the following script works fine in both 7.9.4 and VX:
Sub Cmd_testClick(sender AsObject, e As EventArgs)
Dim list AsNew ArrayList
Dim block As ViewDraw.Block
Dim comp As ViewDraw.Component
Dim tmp AsString
Dim x, y AsLong
list.Clear
list.Add("1st line")
list.Add("2nd line")
list.Add("3rd line")
list.Add("4th line")
view = app.ActiveView
comps = view.Query(128, 1)
ForEach comp In comps
x = comp.GetLocation.X
y = comp.GetLocation.Y
block = comp.SymbolBlock
ForEach tmp In list
block.AddText(tmp, x, y)
y = y - 10
Next
Next
EndSub
The only thing I can see in your code that causes an error for me is the lack of parentheses in the AddText command. That may not matter if you are using vbscript or the EFM scripting, but it does in vb.net.
I hope this helps you.

Re: Importing a .sch Schematic
Hi,
Thank you for your prompt reply, but there is no option Altium, there are only EDIF Netlist, EDIF Schematic, Remote Development Database, Symbols and Netlist Project
Please advice
Thank you in advance

Re: Importing a .sch Schematic
When you installed the software did you choose to install the schematic translators?

No,
Now I know. Will do it.
Thank you for your support !!!

Re: Examples or Tutorials of DxDesigner or Expedition PCB?
This AppNote is a tutorial for the EE 7.9.4 release of DxDesigner. The primary focus is on schematic capture with DxDesigner, including DxDataBook. CES, Expedition PCB, and supporting utilities are also briefly covered by this tutorial. The goal of the tutorial is to introduce new users to fundamental concepts and techniques to successfully create schematics using DxDesigner. Users should allow for approximately 12 hours to complete this tutorial.

Re: Examples or Tutorials of DxDesigner or Expedition PCB?
Marissa,
If you have access to SupportNet, then you will find an excellent evaluation guide for the xDX Designer, Xpedition Layout, contraints and more for the VX.1 release and beyond right here:
This includes a complete script and step by step instructions as well as a database to work with.

Hi Patrick,
Thanks.
In fact the script works...
I meet some problems with the scout.ini file.

Re: What exactly does the demonstration mode in PADS Layout limit? (PADS 9.5)
Chris,
In the demonstration mode you can do all edits and save your design provided you should be in the limits, the limits for the PADS Layout can be found at File->Reports->Limits.(open the report in demonstration mode, not in the licensed mode)
If you are in this limits you can even export your gerbers.
If you open the software in demo mode and if you plug the dongle, you need to restart the software to open in the licensed mode.
and if you are working in the license mode and if you unplug your device, you get a warning saying like this after some time(software will check for dongle at regular intervals), and if you click cancel , PADS will create a backup of the current design and exits. if you click retry it again checks for the dongle and will give the same message if it could not find one.
hope it helps

IC pin capacitance difference shown in datasheet and IBIS
Hello,
During SI simulation I observed that pin capacitance shown in the IBIS and mentioned in datasheet is different.
Does anyone have idea about this?
For e.g. see attached IC CY62146ELL-45ZSXI datasheet page 5 which shows Cin-10pF and Cout-10pF.
But in the IBIS model it is 2/3/4 pF (Min, typ and max)

Place Via in conductive shape
Hi there
I have a Power resistor that has a heatsink, the heatsink pad is made with a conductive shape element (in the library). I can assign a net to the conductive shape , but i am having difficulties placing Via's in the conductive shape. The only way i founf it is to turn off the DRC, anyone know if there is another way how i can do this ?
We are running on 7.9.5 soon we will upgrade to VX.1

Re: How to convert Eagle files to DxDesigner?
Hi Cathy,
So to be clear, I don't need PADS, but I can just use File->Import->Eagle?
Eagle does not show up in my list. Should I get a newer version?

Part substitution by a custom property/attribute
My company is looking into migrating to xDX Designer from PADS Logic. I have been assigned to translate company's libraries and schematics to the Integrated Flow. I have translated the old libraries to the Central Library format and a schematic to the Integrated Flow.
I am asking if it is possible to substitute the local components in the imported schematic to parts in the Central Library by matching a certain component property. Are there features to do this? Each of our part in library has a unique part number in the properties. We are planning to refactor and rename our libraries and gradually move to Integrated Flow. Substituting the part by name would not work in the future and manual substitution would be too much work.
Thank you

Re: How to convert Eagle files to DxDesigner?
The Xpedition VX1.1 release includes an Eagle schematic design importer for xDX Designer schematic entry. This importer imports many Eagle schematics from versions 6.5 to at least 7.2.

Re: Part substitution by a custom property/attribute
You may be able to do the substitutions with xDX Databook. Databook will not change the schematic symbols, but applying the correct load filters, can change the part in the design universally. In xDX Databook configuration, the Load button compares the property, and the Annotate button is used to add the property to the schematic symbol. Research Live and Hierarchical verification.
I have used this in the past to
Add height information to a design.
Change 0402 resistors to 0603 resistors with new part numbers.
If the schematic symbol doesn't require a change, this is a quick, reliable method to update a schematic.

PCB Browser
Hi all ,
Please read VBS text below :
Option Explicit
Scripting.AddTypeLibrary("MGCPCB.ViewerPCBApplication")
Scripting.AddTypeLibrary("MGCPCB.Application")
Scripting.AddTypeLibrary("MGCSDD.KeyBindings")
Dim pcbAppObj : Set pcbAppObj = GetObject(, "MGCPCB.Application")
Dim pcbDocObj : Set pcbDocObj = pcbAppObj.ActiveDocument
If ValidateServer(pcbDocObj) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Server validation failed.",16,"Net name Script"
End If
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------
pcbAppObj.Gui.ProcessKeyin("ons")
Dim dispCtrlObj
Set dispCtrlObj = pcbDocObj.ActiveView.DisplayControl
Dim GlobDispCtrlObj
Set GlobDispCtrlObj=dispCtrlObj.Global
GlobDispCtrlObj.MiscItems(epcbDCSelHilShadowMode)=True
If anyone know why all red lines just do not do anything ?
Thank you all .

Re: PCB Browser
Pay attention on two lines that doesn't work in PCB Browser :
pcbAppObj.Gui.ProcessKeyin("ons")
GlobDispCtrlObj.MiscItems(epcbDCSelHilShadowMode)=True
*** IN EXPEDITION IT"S WORKS WELL .

Re: How to convert Eagle files to DxDesigner?
I am a little confused on my current installment (Mentor Graphics Dx/Exp EE7.9.3) .
Does Xpedition comes as a part of the DX installation or are these two different products?
Are they related in any way?
↧
Re: How to convert Eagle files to DxDesigner?
You would have to upgrade to the latest release of Xpediton for the Eagle importer. EE7.9.3 is quite old and many new features and usability enhancements have been added with the latest release. DxDesigner and Expedition require the same install code and are not backward compatible with previous releases.
