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

Hello all,

When I try to set PIN/TOP visibility by axlVisibleSet function,
i get always following message:

Skill > mylist = '(nil class "PIN" visible t subclassinfo ("TOP" t))
(nil class "PIN" visible t
subclassinfo ("TOP" t)
)
Skill > axlVisibleSet(mylist)
W- *WARNING* Bad format for visibility information
nil

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,
Shimon

axlVisibleSet is really targeted at the situation where you might want to temporarily change the viisbility of the design
then change it back to the original user settings before exiting your skill program. Example
originalVis = axlVisibleGet()
... change visibility then do work based upon it
axlVisibleSet(originalVis)

While you can use it to change the visiibility for individual layers using axlVisibleSet it requires complicated programming.
The easy method to change the visibility of individual layers is to use axlVisibleLayer. Example to make the pin/top layer visible.
axlVisibleLayer("PIN/TOP" t)
axlVisibleUpdate()
axlVisibleUpdate is required. It allows multiple calls to axlVisibleLayer without having the display update after each call.

The interface requires the class name to be included with the subclass name.

To make all subclasses of a class invisible:
axlVisibleLayer("PIN" nil)
