Can i know why i am getting two different type of simulation results.which one would be considerable ?
xDX zoom to area with VB.NET
This seems like it should be easy to do... I do not see any support or examples to zoom to an area on a sheet in the active view. We have View > Zoom Area, and Strokes that work well interactively. I have used ZoomSelect, but it seems to be inconsistent on components.
Maybe I have missed something in the Communities or xDX documentation?
Has anyone done this consistently xDX?
Re: DxDesigner: Resistor array created as hetero gates gets different REFDES assigned
There is now VX.2 out, still no support for Hetero type 4 in Standard Plus.
Any update if and when this will be released?
Re: DxDesigner: Resistor array created as hetero gates gets different REFDES assigned
This is on our to-do list but at the moment we cannot say for which release, it is a much more complicated change than it would appear looking from the user's point-of-view.
Re: PROBLEM DURING MERGING GDS FILES
Many thanks Matthew for the clarification and suggestion.
I have only one more question.
What does it means this warning message:
Warning: Replacing invalid a-string character 0xa with SPACE character in string......
How can I solve it?
thanks
Luciano
Re: xDX zoom to area with VB.NET
This is the code you are looking for:
sheet = app.SchematicSheetDocuments.Open(design_name, sht_num)
sheet.Activate
view = app.ActiveView
view.viewfull()
For n = 1 To zoom_level
view.setcenter(pt.X, pt.Y)
view.zoomin()
Next
view.Refresh
I have made some assumptions that you know how to properly set app and design_name, and declare the rest of the relevant variables here. If any of that is not clear, post up further questions and we can cover them too.
Re: PROBLEM DURING MERGING GDS FILES
Hi Luciano,
If you see this when converting GDS to OASIS in DESIGNrev, I think it's because the OASIS format does not support all the same text string characters as GDS. In this case, it looks like it's converting a line feed (not supported) to a space. Not sure that you need to do anything here. This technote might be related: https://supportnet.mentor.com/portal?do=reference.technote&id=MG249336

Re: Can you load older Pads-Layout & Pads-Logic designs into DX Designer?
Robert,
Thanks for the response. Could you please suggest some material to get started. To be quite honest I haven't found Mentors documentation to be helpful at all to this point. I have version xDx Designer and Pads-Layout vx.1.1.
Thanks,
Fred
Re: xDX zoom to area with VB.NET
This works very well...
Thank you!
Re: Use of project properties to control Severity and Availability for a custom DRC
To implement the “dynamic check” for availability (getAvailability()) of a custom DRC you must implement the
IXDRCheckAdvancedConfiguration interface.
From the API documentation on
IXDRCheck:
DRC can also be configured to run on
different running modes(MANUAL, BACKGROUND, ONSAVE etc.,) and design
abstraction by implementing IXDRCheckAdvancedConfiguration along with this
class. If a DRC does not implement IXDRCheckAdvancedConfiguration it will be
available for all running modes except ONSAVE and BACKGROUND modes, design
abstraction based on getDefaultAvailability() method, and the DRC will have the
severity given by the getSeverity() method, regardless of running mode and
design abstraction
You will note that our example DRC (ConnectorWireColorValidatorDRCheck.java) implements this class:
public class
ConnectorWireColorValidatorDRCheck extends BaseDRCheck
implements IXLogicDRCheck, IXIntegratorDRCheck, IXHarnessDRCheck, IXApplicationContextListener, IXDRCheckAdvancedConfiguration
From within the getSeverity() and/or getAvailability() methods of the custom DRC you will need to get the current project's properties and check the settings to return the appropriate information.
How to do the pin mapping for the chips with large number pins?
Hi All,
I am using Pads Pro to design a project. I designed the symbol and cell with the editors. Now I am trying to connect them together with the part editor. But now it seems like I need to fill all the pin numbers in the Pin Mapping. The pin numbers actually already existed in the symbol, why the part editor and the pin mapping can't recognize them themselves? Are there some easy ways to do this? I am new to the Pads Pro.
Appreciate any help in advance.
Thanks.

Creating a Central Library without "Library Manager" in VX.2
Hi there,
I'm curious to find out how people using Xpedition PCB but not having a "Library Manager" license creates new Central Libraries in VX.2?
Since the new datacentric licensing was implemented the possibility to change library in aproject and the possibility to create a new Central Library has been taken away.
For some companies this is more important than for others. I'm not that fond of the idea of having to spend about 10K$ plus maintenance to regain functionality that we've had since Expedition PCB was introduced in 1999.
Regards,
Bengt Jarl

Hello Mr. Sutariya, I've moved your question to the PADS layout sub-community where a quick response is more likely. -Cathy Terwedow
Keyin Commands "of" and "on"
create a drawing cell using items from layout's electrical layers
Re: Keyin Commands "of" and "on"
Hi,
If l is used then there needs to be the layer numbers following that.
In the tooltip syntax example, the a, h, s etc are all other options that are available for the on keyin.
Best regards
Jackie
Re: Keyin Commands "of" and "on"
Hi Jackie,
so what's the command to turn on or off all layers?
The Help menu suggests "of l a"
I tried some other combinations and I had no success.
thank you,
