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

Not sure what you mean by "big" however you can change the style of the cursor to either infinite (cross-hair), which is a line that goes from top to bottom and side to side on the display or cross that is a small "+". You can also set the angle of the infinite cursor if you desire, a 45 will really puzzle your co-workers for a good laugh if you can edit their env file.

Look in the Ui category of the User preferences:

pcb_cursor : If set, Allegro displays the desired cursor type.Default
value is 'cross'.

pcb_cursor_angle: Applies only to infinite cursor (see pcb_cursor variable).
By default, infinite cross-hair is shown orthogonal. This
variable specifies angle for infinite cursor. Values are
between 0 and 90.
