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

Hi All,

My company is new to Allegro and we're having trouble loading a color palette on other machines. After reading the instructions I set up our preferred color palette and saved it on my machine. I got the lallegro.col file and transferred it to other machines. I placed it in the $HOME\pcbenv file and went to Display > Color/Visibility. When I select Read Local the colors don't change. If I select Read Global the colors do change.

If I go to Read Global on my machine the colors change and I can get back to our preferred palette by selecting Read Local, but only on my machine. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Evan,

There is two places where lallegro.col file can be found. first is the place where the pcbenv folder is located (local color). the second is in the program folder, C:\Cadence\SPB_15.5.1\share\pcb\text\lallegro.col (global color) location.
 In this directory is a (env) no extension file. This file is the file that allegro uses to start the system up with it contains enviromental variables. 

Good Luck,
Steve

Turns out the color priority wasn't the same between the different machines. Unfortunately there's no priority file to set up on each user's machine, but our default boards will take care of priority differences from here on out. All is well now. Thank you.
