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

The System Connectivity Manager currently does not support the creation of a user defined Bus type. In the SPB 16.0 release, a new set of Electrical Net and Physical and Spacing Net classes have been added to the Constraint Manager. Prior to SPB 16.0, a 'bus' could be created in Allegro PCB Editor CM, but not in Design Entry HDL CM or SCM.  There was also confusion (and possible conflict) between logical buses created in the schematic and user defined 'buses' created in the backend.

In SPB 16.0, groups of buses, Xnets, nets, diff pairs can now be assigned to a Net Class. Going forward, a Net Class (which is supported in both the frontend and backend) should be used to create a user-defined grouping of signals.

Sourcelink now has a series of tutorials that describe the new features available in the 16.0 Constraint Manager (http://sourcelink.cadence.com/docs/files/Training/spb160/pcb_cnsmgr.html).
