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 Kenji

The only way to do this is to delete then re-add the text.
Here are some clues:
txtOrient = make_axlTextOrientation(?textBlock "2", ?rotation txtObjId ->rotation ?mirrored txtObjId ->isMirrored, ?justify txtObjId ->justify)
axlDBCreateText(txtObjId ->text, txtObjId -> xy, txtOrient, txtObjId ->layer, txtObjId ->parent)
axlDeleteObject(txtObjId)

Let me know if you need more help.

Cheers, Dave

Hi Rajesh,

1/ Open the first board
2/ Load the Skill code - load("forum_TextBlocks.il"
3/ txtBlks = AFn_recordDesignTextBlocks()
4/ Open the second design
5/ AFn_restoreTextBlocks(txtBlks)

Note that you will need to run the Skill commands from the Skill console (Type "set telskill" in your command window)

Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply. But the script changes the text block settings where we do it allegro window (setup --> text sizes and provide the text block width,height etc..).

What exactly i need is similar to "set_refdes.il" this will extract the refdes silkscreen_top and silkscreen_bottom location,orientation,mirrored,etc in a text file and it will be transferred to another board.

Like that i need to extract the text block defined for each and every component (if the text block size defined for all the components are not unique throughout the board) and transfer to anoter board.

Thanks,
Rajesh

Rajesh,

A modified version of ser_refdes.il is available on SourceLink and it does handle textblocks.
