Re: Through-Hole Libraries?

Hi Marissa,

 

There is a starter library of about 11k parts available from Optimum Design Associates (ODA) - this may have the connector you need:

 

Optimum Part Libraries for PADS - Mentor Graphics

DEMO PCB Libraries, Mentor Graphics Library, ODA Library

 

Otherwise, in the VX release you can import EAGLE designs and libraries through File > Import > EAGLE:

 

DX_EAGLE.PNG

Lastly, we are working on a component portal (PartQuest) where you will be able to look up a part number and download the symbol & footprint for it immediately. Right now the portal works with PADS - it will be rolled out to Xpedition later this year:

Re: Shielding in 3D

Most users typically do a sync from the VeSys wiring design to the VeSys Harness design to bring the multicore structure to the harness drawing, and they just need for the parent MC outer diameter to be exported in the nwf file so that it contributes to the true bundle OD in Creo.  For this reason, they typically don't care too much about the shielding in Creo.  However, for user that do care, we have a means to configure its export into the nwf.

 

At <VeSys_install>\adaptors\resources is the vesys_bridge.properties file. In it, set property Shield_as_wire=true. This will convert that shield (in the first pic) to a wire and will export it (Remove_shield=false).  As you know, the nwf format does not support nestings within a MC instance, and so VeSys supports "flattening" it out. For this, set Flatten_out_nested_multicore=true.  Restart VDesign, so that the new values are read in. Export the nwf, and you will see that the shield is now exported.

 

If you have MC nestings in VDesign, they will not be present in Creo, but the MC will be created to the OD of the parent level, thus giving you an assurance that the bundle OD in Creo is true to reality.  Eventually, when you do a sync of the wiring from VDesign to VHarness, the MC nestings in the wiring design will be replicated in the harness drawing.

Replacing existing vias

Hi all,

There are about 200 vias in my design which need to be replaced by a different padstack. How can I get this done without changing them one by one ?

Thank you

How to check for maximum clearance?

I have a High Voltage board and the minimum net to net clearance is 0.2 mm, but the maximum clearance can not be greater than 0.31 mm.

Is there a way to check or make a list if the clearance for 2 nets will not exceed this 0.31 mm?

Re: Is there a way to switch off "Mounted" or "Opposite" layers in a through hole padstack?

I have actually done that. I have my correct pad on the "opposite" layer and have set the pad size on the "Mounted" layer to 0. However, if I choose "non-plated" I get Connectivity issues when running the design checks as it is expecting routes to both layers. With plating, there are no connectivity issues as it treats both layers as connected, however I don't want the holes to be plated. I need a way to tell Pads that the component is "single sided" so I don't have a slew of design check errors.

 

Fills also attempt to join on both layers so I have copper going right up to the holes on the wrong layer. I would like that hole to be treated as a drill or something similar on the layer with "no connection". I added a keepout to the decal to keep the copper away from the drill that but it is not an elegant way of doing it.

 

I am using Pads Layout VX.0

Why are you using the delimiter with csv, it should open in Excel without this? Generally only use the delimiter for text outputs.

Can you provide the configuration file you are using (the *.ipl file). Also, is the design packaged with all REFDES properties? It won't give correct results if it isn't.

The symbols are just ASCII files so no need to 'export' them.

The delimiter hasn't made a difference but I was trying different options in hopes that the excel or text output would include all the data. It's odd that the ODA Starter Library components are the one's not included. Components that I created are showing up correctly.

 

Here's the ipl:

  <Entry name="outputFormat" value="PLAIN" readonly="YES"/>

Jason,

Not sure what format you are trying to produce but that ipl file has too many primary/secondary key combinations. Without the design it is difficult to determine why parts are missing but if you can identify one of the missing parts and show a snapshot of the properties it might help. Failing that contact your customer support representative.

There is a TechNote that discusses several reasons why parts go missing on a Partlist. TechNote mg580034.  Like Angelo said, I'm also pretty sure it is non-common properties. ManufacturerPN isn't a standard property so that could be it.

Robert,

 

Thanks Robert. I tried your ipl and got all my parts! I'm not sure why the default file did not work but I've got a complete BOM now.

Yes, there is a possibilty:

 

add "Timing_Location Die" in the IBIS file below the [Component] statement

Timing_location Die

Hi ishara,


You can use Padstack Processor (Edit > Modify > Padstack Processor) to accomplish this.

That did the trick, thank you!

 

While researching the "Timing_location" keyword, I also came across the "Si_location" keyword. I tried playing around with it, but it didn't seem to change anything. A little surprising considering it is a signal integrity simulation.

Hi

Anyone know how to create a script that will scroll through the libraries and export attributes to an Excel spreadsheet?

For example as showed in the attached image.
