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'm replacing wirebonds in a desgn.  I'm selecting them and getting their basic properties (width, layer, etc...), but these objects also have some user defined properties that I would like to get and assign to the new object that's replacing it. 
Could someone help me out with getting the user variables (I have had some luck with properties=Selected_object->prop->?).  It will give me a list, but I need to know how to assign these variables to another object that gets created.

Thanks,
Mark

You'll be wanting to use

[b]axlDBGetProperties[/b]
as in the following snippet


proplist=axlDBGetProperties(obj_db)
;then to do stuff with wich individual prop/val pair
foreach(prop proplist
    keyy=symbolToString(car(prop))
    vall = cadr(prop)
);end-foreach

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the code it really helps. I was also wondering if you could show me how to assign these values to a newly created object in the database. If I were to create a new cline, how would I assign the keyy and vall variables to the new cline?

Thanks,
Mark

You'll be wanting to use
    axlDBAddProp

for assigning a property to an object.
Grep the SKILL shareware for examples on how to apply the command.


Good Hunting,
