Many of you already received communications about the move of the Cadence user community into cadence.com. And many of you have already joined, with over 4000 registrations in the first two weeks.

The new Cadence Community enhances the ability of Cadence users to connect and collaborate. In addition to moving the community into cadence.com -- enabling single sign-on for community, Sourcelink and Cadence events -- the new site is organized around nine technology segments, giving you easy access to product information, training, forums and blogs. Some of the new features include:
  • Ability to respond to posts via e-mail
  • Technology-specific blogs
  • Latest Web 2.0 social networking capabilities
  • Public profile options
  • Private messaging
  • Friends lists
Visit the new Cadence Community today at www.cadence.com/community and join the discussions!

Registration note: Due to the scope of the enhancements and the new SSO registration system, we were not able to migrate existing cdnusers.org member accounts. So new registrations are required, but this enables a broader set of functionality we think you'll enjoy.

Forum note: Under the guidance of forum moderators, we have taken the 20+ cdnusers.org forums and consolidated them into 11 forums on the new site. Posts have been brought over so you can leverage that posting history. CDNusers forums will be set to read only starting 7/30, and cdnusers.org will be redirected to the new community on 8/4.

Best regards,
Mike and Tom

Encounter reports the number and types of buffers it removes during PlaceDesign.  Is there any way to get a list of the logic names of the buffers that are removed?

Hi nph,

I don't believe there is a way to capture that list. I'd encourage you to file an enhancement request (at http://sourcelink.cadence.com or via your local AE) for the deleteBufferTree command, which is what placeDesign is calling to remove the buffers.

Just thinking of work arounds here... How about using the ecoCompareNetlist command on a design before and after deleteBufferTree has been run. That will create a list of ECO commands with statements like these:

#***********************************************************
# Deleting source instance not found in reference.
#***********************************************************

DELETEINST DTMF_INST/DMA_INST/i_10632

Hope this helps,
Bob
