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

I created a node plot generator using Diva DRC to "extract" the nets, and Skill to convert the DRC markers back to the real layers. My "problem" is in generating the Diva DRC rules file. My current work-a-round is to call a csh script, with the list of net names as comand line options. The script starts off with a general rule header, then adds to that the netname specific section for each net (using vim to do a search-and-replace), and finishing by adding the final portion of the rule file. It works, but ONLY if icfb is launched as a foreground process. As a background process (icfb &), the csh script hangs. My question is, how can I get Skill to do the same thing my csh script does now? IN SKILL: Comand = "/users/mlewis/bin/shownet_files/shownet.csh" Full_Comand = cons( Comand ListOfNets ) Diva_Rules_File = buildString( Full_Comand " " ) csh( Diva_Rules_File ) IN CSH cat /users/mlewis/bin/shownet_files/shownet.rul.top > divaDRC.rul foreach i ($*) cat /users/mlewis/bin/shownet_files/shownet.rul.mid >> divaDRC.rul echo ":g/NETNAME/s/NETNAME/"$i"/g" > temp_file echo ":wq" >> temp_file vim -s temp_file divaDRC.rul rm temp_file end cat /users/mlewis/bin/shownet_files/shownet.rul.bot >> divaDRC.rul Thank you Michael
