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 there an EASY way to modify round shapes? For example if you have a .250 dia shape can you modify it to be larger or smaller without redrawing it?

Thanks

I don't think you can modify the round shape. If you wanted to, you could export a sub-drawing and text edit the file to change the size, but it would probably be easier to just recreate the shape.

In a simple testcase, I changed a round shape that had a 50 mil radius to a 150 mil radius by editing the sub-drawing in 4 places.

See the _clpAdjustPt below. The format may not show up right. If not, create your own small test case and open the sub-drawing in your text editor.

Hope this helps!



(putprop _clp_cinfo (list (_clpAdjustPt -150:-150 _clp_cinfo)
(_clpAdjustPt 150:150 _clp_cinfo)) 'l_extents)
(putprop _clp_cinfo (_clpAdjustPt '(2050.0 1125.0) _clp_cinfo) 'l_zeropt)
(unless (_clpSelectRotOrg _clp_cinfo)
(error ""CANCEL""))
_clp_clip_prop_value = (_clpGetClipPropValue)
(printf "" 10 percent completed"")
(newline)
_clp_path = (_clpPathStart (list (_clpAdjustPt 150:0 _clp_cinfo))
(_clpMKSConvert 0.000000 _clp_cinfo->t_from_units _clp_cinfo->t_to_units))
_clp_path = (_clpPathArcCenter _clp_path (_clpMKSConvert 0.000000 _clp_cinfo->t_from_units
_clp_cinfo->t_to_units) (_clpAdjustPt 150:0 _clp_cinfo) nil

WOW....seems like an awful lot of work for something so simple. I think it needs to be added to a wish list.
It is easier to recreate the shape, but if its a part of a symbol it looses its association to that symbol if you have to delete the shape and re-create it.

Thanks for the quick reply.
