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

Greetings to all.
We're a long-time APD user, but we've done very little SKILL programming under Allegro.

What is the best way of ramping up? (i.e. where can we find tutorials/classes/examples etc.)?

Regards
Kretch

Well, you could hire me
http://www.edawizardry.com/resume_chris.jsp - good with dofiles too!
;-)

but SKILL code is pretty much identical between APD and Allegro. All the Allegro-specific functions (axl) work under both products TTBOMK.

t/c/e can all be found on Sourcelink, account on which is free when you have a paid-up license.

There's also the skill-school mailing list on groups.yahoo.com you might consider joining, there is some overlap between this forum and that list.

PS - anyone know of a position for a(nother) Cadence guru?

You may wish to use axlMapClassName to allow mapping class name differences between the products.
This will allow your skill code to work both in PCB and APD.

krerch:

Cadence do provide Allegro Editor SKILL programming course 13.6 for both Allegro PCB Editor and APD. It needs about 4 people to form a course. If you and your teamates are interested in this course, we could form a group of 4 people and have them to open up this course.

Let me know if you are interested in it.
