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

I have received a schematic design produced on 'Multisim' (Electronic Workbench), unfortunately no Allegro 3rd party format output is available, the nearest being a .asc Orcad file.

Are any members aware of a translation script to convert a .asc file type to one acceptable to Allergo's - File > Import > Logic ... 'Other' tab input?

I think orcad to allegro translator would right for you,
but you have to rework the plane layer after translation.

Alan,

The Allegro 3rd Party netlist format is also known as a Telesis Netlist. See if Multisim has a netlist output in Telesis format.

Hope this helps,

Hi All,

I am also facing a similsr problem with third party netlist importing. Can anybody please share a sample telesis netlist for reference?

I had tried to create a telesis netlist from Capture. The netlist is generated, but while importing to allegro I am getting an error messages like "ERROR: Cannot find device file for '33E' " and "ERROR: Expected ';' , found an illegal character, line ignored".

Please let me know what is the device file and how it can be generated from a schematic entry tool.

Thanks,
Babu

Export a netlist from a working board and the format will be readily apparent. There is documentation online in Allegro for the format.
OrCAD supports generation of TELESIS but who uses that anymore with the packager netlister that's been out for years?
