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,

Hello,

I am getting a error while generating netlist.Can anyone tell me what this error message means ?

Please note that, at first I was using a part in Capture Library which I modified and then I used it in the design. At that time , I was getting the below mentioned error while generating netlist. But when I generated a totally new part in capture  library and used it in my design ,  I was able to generate netlist without any error.

Can anyone help in this matter ...

Design Name:
e:\orcad\allegro\design-ge.dsn
Netlist Directory:
e:\orcad\allegro\allegro
Configuration File:
e:\orcad\allegro\signoise.runcases.cfg,1

Load thepstxprt.dat file into an Excel spread sheet and look in or near line 38. This will point you to what the problem is.

Can you delete 'SW ROTARY 1P-5W_4_4LEGDOME' this part.And place it once again from the schematic library.
It may get solved. If not recreate the part once againg and try it.

Yes , I did the same thing , recreated the part and the problem was solved.

But I was just trying to get what role exactly the files

E:\Orcad\allegro/pstchip.dat
E:\Orcad\allegro/pstxprt.dat

have to play while generating netlist ....and due to what consequences errors associated with these files may generate ...

Prajakta.
