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

Hi all,
Does anyone know a way to transfert semi-automatically a virtuoso schematic in a Allegro schematic. I know it wouldn't be a seamless convertion, since in virtuoso, we do not care about footprint and so on. However the name of nets, typical resiscances, capacitances and their values, could be generated in order to gain time and avoid human error in changing values or name.
Please not that I have no knowledge in Allegro, but I want to simplify the work of my PCB designer.
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
khurana

Why do you want to do this? If you want to export a 'pcb' netlist then why did you use Virtuosos...just curious. What do you want to accomplish in Allegro?

I am an Analog Designer, I design a chip, and then I have to configure a test board, with its decoupling capacitances, setup resistances and so on. But since I have the test bench of my chip already done in Virtuoso, I print it and gave it to my dearest pcb designer colleague as a setup of what I need on my pcb. I think it is a waist of time for him to re-write all the net names and resistances instances name (R1, R2, R3, ...C1, C2, C3 ..., IN1, IN2, IN3, ... OUT1, OUT2, OUT3..), since I have already done it on MY schematic. Industry always claim for time to market faster solution and that feature is not possible ?? I really blame on non-interoperability between Virtuoso and Allegro. Maybe it is possible in cadence IC6, but I am still using IC5.10.41.
