Hey Everyone, There is a nifty feature in Capture CIS 17.2 that exports PDF (File > Export > PDF) with properties of the component like part numbers, manufacturer, voltage, etc. But there is only...
View ArticleRE: why dbCreateHierProp does not work for objectIds
According to the documentation, this should work. It used to work in CDB, but doesn't work in OA (at least in IC617 - I didn't check back versions). I did find some internal CCRs relating to their...

Thanks Dale. As you say, I have discovered that lines are not allowed on DESIGN_OUTLINE. I actually just ran into an issue where because of the suppression of 0 width lines, my board outline on the new...

Yes that is what I mean, and thank you for the feedback. I've tried your suggestion to disable the timestamp, and the results appear to be more similar, but not the same as the gds's generate from the...

Hi Faisal, I'll try to find some time to do this. The value function you show above seems to give a waveform with the x-axis being the bit, so it's not quite what you want. Anyway, I'll think about it...

I'd rather not blindly apply a blanket rule to all zero width lines. That will cover up mistakes for items that are inadvertently set to zero width. I'd prefer the zero width items to be identified and...

I had been using -nographE to work around UI code problems, but I will try -restore, which sounds like it's more lightweight than -nographE.

Jungyoon, Your question isn't very clear. I don't know what isn't working - perhaps you could post a picture and explain more clearly what you've tried and what isn't working? Regards, Andrew.

They're not really the same thing. All that -nographE does is not produce a CIW window - it still requires a connection to an X server. Whereas -nograph uses a null X display (implemented these days...
