Re: Clear all locks in Capital

Hello Brian

 

I've never seen that many locks and would strongly suggest you raise an SR on SupportNet and give details of your situation there.

 

I would hope there is a method - but equally, if not more, important is - why are there so many locks and how to resolve/avoid this?

 

Regards,

Pat

Hi, All

 

I have an additional question.

Is there way to disable 'Show CL View' button in DxDatabook window?

Re: Fatal Errors in HL 9.2

I have had the exact same fatal error messages, opened up a SR2685471697 at one point and the problem could not be reproduced with my files. But yeah, this never showed up until installing 9.2. For the record, I am running Windows 7 Professional, SP1.

 

The only thing that seems to get rid of this message is to copy your .hyp file to another directory.. annoying but it works.

Anyone else get this error message?

 

Thanks

alphanumeric pin numbered part in Logic

$

I am trying to figure out how to setup a symbol in PADS Logic that uses alphanumeric pin numbering, and I keep getting an error that reads.

 

“Error: PCB decal RJ45_10GANG not valid for part with pin mapping - Non-numeric pin number A1..”

 

On the PADS Layout side this doesn’t seem to be a problem.  This schematic was originally created in OrCAD and converted to PADs Logic.  This part must have worked using OrCAD because it’s in a layout with all of its routing complete.  

 

Looking for the correct way to create an alphanumeric pin numbered part in Logic.

 

  1. Thanks.

I believe the answer depends upon which version of PADS you are running.  I see "pads_alphanumeric_tg.pdf" in my pdfdocs folder from V2007 but I thought they changed it again after that.   

 

You need to disable the pin mapping as that only works with numeric (sequential) pins.  Then you define the pin mapping in the 'pins' tab instead of the 'pin mapping' tab.  Obvious, right?!

Select by Attribute/Property.... (dialog box functionality)

$

This is a questions based on how to configure attributes and properties to make is easier to group parts as a sum to maintain edit-ability.  I have been searching for a way to be able to isolate specific systems within a project (groupings of wires, connectors, splices and devices) in order to be able to quickly select them via the "Select by Attribute/Property....  dialog box" based on attribute, properties, value descriptors. 

 

I have discovered that when using the "Select by Attribute/Property....  dialog box" with more than one schematic page open and the selection includes parts across numerous pages, the Delete command is inhibited.  Is there a way to get around this?  Being able to delete multiple parts across multiple schematics via 1 search request is a great way to layer components via system design and quickly create variant configurations.  one would be able to use a master configuration and quickly adjust it for specialized designs. 

 

I was wondering if anyone has come across an effective way to do this.

Solderpaste optimisation

Hello,

 

     The ground pads are not recogonized when doing the solderpaste optimisation through valor vSure .I have n't seen any useful attributes to apply the Ground pad in Feature attributes.

I would like to get the slots for the Ground pads in the stencil Layer .Can you please give a solution if you have an idea on this.

 

 

Thanks and Regards

Mobile compute license : problem with my local use

$

  Hello,

 

i have a Mobile compute licence for the 68k compiler.

I'm under WIndows XP

I have received my license key file

The FILE_LM_LICENSE path is set to my licence file

As my PC is not under network, there is no license servor.

 

My license key file looks like  :

INCREMENT mcc68kwnd mgcld 2015.070 6-oct-2016 0 5EC67CE6A8F618F7990C \

    VENDOR_STRING=5E98A415 HOSTID=xxxxx SN=xxxxx SIGN2="0 ...."

 

When i run my exe (mcc68k), i have the error :

get_license failled

I don't understand what the trouble is ?

When i use lmtools to diagnostic the license, the return is "lmdiag can't check because the hostid has a non-standard value"

but it's seem correct with the getmac return value

Does someone can give me a help ?

the path in my FILE_LM_LICENSE is correct, the license is under validity and the Hostid is correct

 

Is there an other thing to do ?

Re: Is there a way to export the Component Library to an excel or text file?

I keep a master project containing each grouping of connections terms, and seals options.  All sunk into a harness that can be reported and copied into excel without a tool.  It takes a bit but once set up they just need to be maintained and reported.  Aside from that i have no other way of doing it.  if you don't need the terminals or seals it is much easier because you don't have to provide an array of wire gauges to achieve your goal.

Hi Mehmet. I want to be sure I understand your question.

 

The Quick Tour should play directly from this link: HyperLynx Signal Integrity Quick Tour - Mentor Graphics (a different URL than the one attached to your post).

  • Is that what you're having trouble with, or is it the videos listed below it, such as 'Power Integrity Modeling with IBIS' and 'Tips for PCB stackup design'?
  • If you mean you can't run the demos from the 'Chapter' descriptions in the Quick Tour Contents list, those are all part of the Quick Tour itself. Just launch the tour and click around to the sections you're interested in.

I hope this helps!http://www.mentor.com/pcb/multimedia/player/hyperlynx-signal-integrity-quick-tour-2d02b471-f498-4d8d-a274-1c57cfc38826

No but you can upgrade LS to PADS Standard and ES to PADS Standard Plus and it will be available.

Does Layer Map implicitly OR all sublayers into specified Layer?

$

Hi,

 

I have a statement like this in my calibre DRC tvf file:

 

LAYER SRAM_OUTLINE 65001

LAYER MAP 123 DATATYPE < 65000 65001

LAYER MAP 124 DATATYPE < 65000 65001

LAYER MAP 125 DATATYPE < 65000 65001

LAYER MAP 126 DATATYPE < 65000 65001

 

From the documentation it appears that, the above statement will have the same effect as doing an OR of 123 , 124,125, 126 and putting all the polygons in a single layer 65001. Is my understanding correct?

 

I have another OR statement:

 

thin_lines = OR SRAM_OUTLINE SRAM_OUTLINE SRAM_OUTLINE SRAM_OUTLINE

 

Calibre issues error on the above statement:

ERROR: Error INP5 on line 57 of SVRF generated from TVF - identical input layers for this operation: or.

 

I understand doing on OR on same layers is redundant, but why an error. Is there a way to convert the above ERROR to warning in calibre?

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

The environment variable used to locate a license is LM_LICENSE_FILE.  Please correct your variable name and try again.

 

Also, be aware that nodelocked uncounted licenses do not work over remote desktop or other modes of remote login to Windows machines.

 

If you continue to have problems, please register for Supportnet and raise a service request.

 

Regards,

 

David

Thanks David for your answer,

 

the environment variable is correctly written on my PC : it's just bad written in this post.

The problem is still present : i'm going to try the supportnet...
