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,

Greetings all,

Has anyone ever had any success with adjusting the settings under Plot Setup using a method other than a replay-script? Directly with SKILL, or maybe writing out a control file then triggering a reading of that file?


TIA,

Followup - the documetation states the plot-setup values are saved in the allegro.ini file upon exiting a session and read in from same file at beginning of a session. It goes on to state that there are environment variables that can be set programmatically and that the trick is to
1) open session
2) delete allegro.ini
3) modify environment variables as desired
4) invoke plot

BUT the documentation doesn't state the [b]names[/b] of the environment variables that correspond with what's in allegro.ini

TIA,

Hi Chris,

I don't think that method works unless you re-open the session after modifying the lines in the allegro.ini file itself.
It would be great if we could have access to these as normal environment variables. It drives me crazy having to run scripts to do this type of task. I suggest you raise an enhancement request to have these included as standard environment variables.

Cheers, Dave
