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

"There are times, for various reasons that a user may want to change the origin (0,0) of a design. Most new users will naturally attempt to do this by using the Edit -> Move command, by selecting all the elements in the design, and then physically moving them from one location to the new location. For small designs this would be acceptable, however, on a large design this may take a long time to complete. A more efficient way to accomplish this would be to use the MOVE ORIGIN fields located under Setup -> Drawing Size... To use this correctly, first determine the x,y coordinates for the new origin. For example, let's say that the new origin should be at -4150,2340. To change the origin do the following...
o Setup -> Drawing Size...
o double-click to highlight the X field under MOVE ORIGIN
o type in the new x coordinate -4150 [u]and then hit enter.[/u]
NOTE: after you have hit enter, the X field will reflect back 0
o now double-click in the Y field and type in the new y coordinate 2340 [u]and then hit enter.[/u] Once again the Y field will reflect back 0.
o Now select OK to close the form. Your origin will be quickly changed. Verify this by going to your new origin in the design.

Yes.Its working.
Many times, I was changing the origin only by moving the entire design as you've said.
This method is very helpful.

Thanks a lot.
