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,

Does anybody know how to create dynamic forms (variable form fields)  in SKILL for allegro?

Thanks,
Saad.

Hi Saad,

You can change form field visibility and use axlFormAutoResize to re-size your form.
However, Allegro forms are not dynamic. One way to get around this problem is to build your forms on the fly and open and close them in order to re-size form fields.

Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave,

The problem I see in 'on the fly' forms is its callback function because for every changing form field the callback function would change which is the main hurdle. Our SKILL scrips are revision controlled and cannot be modified on the fly.
Multiple form files could be one solution only if all the possible situations (variable form fields) are known. But in my case conditions are unknown.

I thank and appreciate for your suggestion.
Regards Saad.
