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

Is it possible to turn on a visual indicator of where the origin of a design, symbol etc. is in Allegro. Something in the setup? I'm currently a PADS user and we are looking to change to Allegro and I am demoing the software. In PADS the origin is always visible and can easily be moved.

Thanks
Tim

As far as I know there is not the facility to view an origin or datum as such. But, when you create a symbol,you can put a feature on any subclass of your choice e.g. a small cross or a circle. This would then be visible within allegro should you choose to view it from the color pallete. The subclass you choose can be one of the ones already present by default or you could make one of your own which would automatically come through into the database.

In addition, you can always see the x/y position of the cursur in the lower right hand corner of the Allegro GUI.

The origin can easily be moved by using the pull-down menu Setup => Drawing Size, Move Origin
