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, I am trying to write a SKILL code to Zoom to an selected co-ordinate. Problem: When we run DRC/LVS a log file with error co-ordinates is generated. Its very difficult to find the co-ordinates manually on the layout. Effort: I copied the error co-ordinates onto to a file, read each line of the file and zoom to a particular co-ordinate using SKILL routines. Requirment: IS there a way that i open the log file, select the co-ordinates using mouse and click a key ( already key bound to a procedure) to zoom to the particular co-ordinates. I am not able to find out how to capture the selected co-ordinates or text and use it in the SKILL procedure. I tried to find out where the selected text is stored in the system. I found that its stored in a system's "selection buffer" (Selection.c). Is there a way to access this location. AM i going in the right direction or does the SKILL has any procedure to capture this? regards Kiran

An other approach could be to generate error makers (by system layer) in the
layout from your coordinate file and then step and zoom through this markers. This should not be to hard to implement and that's what common DRC tools do.

My question aims at only LVS. I am sorry i have mentioned DRC too. I am already using system layer (error dg layer) to higilight errors. Thats the solution for DRC but for LVS the tool generates set of co-ordinates. Calibre RVE helps in cross-probing here but until you get it one has to live with the scripts. regards Kiran

1) Put parentheses around the coordinates in the text file; i.e. (100.00 200.00)
2) Open file using axlUIViewFileCreate command
3) Click on a coordinate and Allegro will auto zoom/center to that location.
4) Use zoom keys to zoom further in or out if needed.
G'Day,
