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

The 'properties' (thickness and color) for the selection box in the Cadence Symbol Editor come form the system layer purpose pair (lpp) 'instance drawing',
which is assigned to the display packet 'red' in the technology file.

If you want to change the thickness and color of them you have to
assign a other display packet to 'instance drawing' lpp in your technology
file. But this changes the color appearance of every shape drawn with the
lpp 'instance drawing' no mater if it is for symbols selection box,
or any other stuff in schematics or layouts.

Or modify the display packet 'red' in the display.drf or your local
display.drf file. But this will chance the appearance of every layer
purpose pair which is assinged to the display packet 'red'.

Bernd, how does it work when you create a library without a techfile ? Also is there any way to do that by using SKILL ? Thanks, Michele

If you create a library without a tech file, or without attaching it to a techfile, it gets automatically attached to a library called cdsDefTechLib - which contains all the system layers - such as instance/drawing. So it is no different.
