Re: Defineing entry port names for Creo 2.0

$
0
0

I've tried to unassign the connectors from the component, but it didn't worked. Then I made a totally new component, which is not assigned to anything in any way, but it didn't work that way either.

 

But the second solution you've described works, and it's still faster than defining each pin. I will try it in the 3D cabling, and if it works this way, I will mark your answer correct.

 

Thank you,
Lac

Please file an SR for your first para. Something is not right there.

Re: How can I create a part in Library Manager where the symbol and cell has different pin count?

During the creation of the Part, all symbol pins must be mapped to a physical pin. The same is true from a cell stand point, they all must be mapped to a signal.

 

With that said, it appears as though that's a 22awg wire coming off pin 3. I would make a special plated hole where the "pad" is smaller than the hole and will be drilled out. That way the wire can be passed down through the board and ran to the front panel along the back side. This way you have 4 electrical connections but one will disappear.

Re: Enable floating license with USB dongle on a virtual Windows 8.1 machine within Windows Server

Dongles on virtual machines are very unpredictable; they are not recommended because it is very rare that they work.  When using a virtual machine as a license server, you should use the MacAddress instead

As your “host” machine is Windows Server 2012 – you could use that as the server.

Maria,

 

     Thanks for your reply. I got this error last time and it was cleared by updating latest service pack. But now its different, there was problem in schematic in Vesys Classic. They didn't enter connector ID name for few connectors. After updating those details its working fine.

 

find the image for your reference.

Re: Pads Gerber,offset in Gerber tool(view mate ) ??

With your PADS origin in the center of the board as shown on 6/26/15 you are indeed using negative coordinates for anything to the left or below the origin. 

 

Why do you want your PADS origin and your Gerber origin at the same spot?  As long as all the Gerber files line up then your Gerber origin is correct for the fab house.

DFF: Error: Layer Compare Error

$

I have 2 different designs.

The one I am currently working on I started from scratch. I have only started a couple from scratch in Pads.

I have modified a lot of others using the same libraries and parts.

I am using the same part on the new board as is on a different board. The board set up by our last layout guy does not have

these errors but the new one does. I saw someone say that this error is commonly a display width minimum problem.

 

I have set that minimum width to 0. I still have 81 of the same error on the board.

Any ideas about what the cause is?

 

Thank you in advance.

Tony

If both symbols contain the power pins, simulation is possible, just apply the same model and use the simulation model editor to map the pins to the model.

Here you guys go.  This has the source code so you can make it work exactly like you want it to.

DFF is checking against the rules defined in the 'Setup' on the Verify Design dialog (right below the Start button).  You may have a clue there. 

 

I don't remember if 'View Report' shows any additional information or not.  Try that.

 

Don't forget that if you zoom out to the entire PCB area you might find more errors because (some of) the error check only checks what is visible on the screen so you don't get overwhelmed.  That is a feature of PADS that burns a lot of Newbies.

Got it! Thank you.

There is a check box for "silkscreen over pads" minimum clearance; on the new layout it is checked, on the old one it is not.

Checking that check box gives the same errors on the old layout.

Will silkscreen on the pads cause manufacturing errors?

I think the decals need to be corrected to clear the solder pads, is that correct?

Re: Is the PADS ES suite the same as PADS Standard Plus?

Good question!

 

PADS Standard Plus is all the functionality of the ES Suite, plus crosstalk analysis based on HyperLynx, and it will get PADS 3D when available later this year.  DxPDF is in this Suite.

 

There is a lot more information on all the new PADS suites on our website at PADS PCB Design - Mentor Graphics

 

We've also put together upgrade paths from existing bundles and suites to the new.  Contact your sales person for more information.

Re: Do we require to purchase a separate license to use Design Inspector in HarnessXC?

Hi Suhas,

 

please refer this question to the Mentor GSS (Customer Support Team) for your company and company site - either through registering as a user on Mentor Supportnet or referring it to your colleagues who log service requests (SR's) with Mentor. The resolution should be pretty simple.

 

It does read to me as though your custom plugins collection has overwritten or involved the removal of standard items. However as the Integration and Extension services portions of Capital can be licensed (i.e. paid for) features, you should go through the proper channel (your own company's systems admin arrangements and Mentor customer support) to get a diagnosis of what you are seeing.

 

Perhaps it is because of an expired license, perhaps it is your own company attempting to restrict user access to certain types of license which is causing this trouble to you.

 

Regards,

 

Paul

HI jduquette,

Generally,origin is General Co-oridnate for all the tool right.But i could not understand why viewmate not support the PADS Gerber origin location.for example,autocad dxf origin support with all the tool origin location even it support PADS also right ?? like that i could not understand why it is not support the Gerber ??

Thanks Jeremy, this is the same approach that we have used, so it is nice to know that other people used this technique.
