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,

The documentation states that axlPolyFromDB will work with "path", "line" and "arc" objects, amongst others.

Under 15.2 I can successfully obtain a poly from a cline/"path" object BUT cannot obtain a poly from a clineseg/"line" object.

Try the following:
capture a CLINE, name it cline_db
capture a CLINESEG from CLINE, name it clineseg_db
cline_poly = car( axlPolyFromDB( cline_db))  ; works for me
clineseg_poly = car( axlPolyFromDB( clineseg_db)) ; does NOT work for me

Can anyone verify this behavior?

I'm whipping up a report that will detect etch that gets too close to pins.

Thanks and have a great Friday,

Works OK in 16.0. I vaguely remember problems in 15.2 that I raised several SRs for. Have you got the latest ISR?
Cheers, Dave

I've confirmed this behavior on an associates' box - axlPolyFromDB does not work under 15.2 for "line" or "arc" dbids but does work under 15.7 .

Thx to all who responded.
