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

Hello all,

I'm currently using bothng Allegro 14.2 in Unix platform,
and Allegro 15 windows version.

We use Viewlogic (Innoveda) for our net list, and are trying to import the component height as part of the schematic symbol so that it get translated to Allegro,
then later on we can generate solid models of the pcb in PROE.

I have included the ""HEIGHT"" property with a value in ""inch"" units as part of the device file in the schematic, on the Allegro side I have
added the text ""HEIGHT"" to the shape on the ""PLACE_BOUND_TOP"" in the ""package geometry"".

I have revised the ""allegro.cfg"" config file to reflect
this property.

When I generate the netlist, there are no errors, and the
device output seems OK, however when I import the net list into Allegro, I get the error message:
""ERROR"" Property 'HEIGHT' is not defined for components.

Does Anyone know how to bring this info into Allegro from VIewlogic and ORCAD?

Any help on this is greatly appreciated

Thanks
nzdave

You will need to include the property in a previously imported Tech file.
Something like:
(allegroTechFile ""myprops.tech""
(revision ""14.0"")
(techFileProperty
(propertyName ""HEIGHT""
(propertyDataType REAL)
(propertyUnitsString ""INCHES"")
(propertyElementList COMP_DEF REF_DES)
)
)
)
