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

As addicted user of shortcuts, I recently placed my Cadence Virtuoso
customizations on a blog (easy maintenance, easy uploading etc.). You can find it at

 http://relyveld.wordpress.com/ - Relyveld's blog - cadence page

Playing with analog circuits for over 10 years, I got accustomed to Cadence tools and wanted to change a few things. It all started with the desire to use Alt-1 to toggle metal1 visibility, and Alt-2 to toggle metal2 visibility. Then I started to want other posibilities, get rid of the LSW window, raise the library manager etc. I quickly grew out of Alt-… keys and introduced Alt-a Alt-b combinations, typed after each other. The file below contains a lot of my current customizations but cannot be used directly. It needs a few modifications to localize the right paths and variables. So it is necessary to have skill knowledge to install. A installer is not part of the game.

Example 1: switch to schematic view when in a Virtuoso layout window:
Alt-i  : go to library manager mode
Alt-e : switch to schematic view of this cell
Alt-e : switch back to the layout view

Example 2: select all single vias in a Virtuoso layout window:
Alt-f  : go to filter mode
Alt-v : select vias (in the visible part of the active window)
Shift-Alt-b : filter smaller items (works with transistors, vias,
rectangles etc.)
repeat Shift-Alt-b until you get only the single ones

Feel free to use it and let me know what you like (or not) if
you want.

Greetings, William.
