RE: Orcad Capture ver 17.2

Our company is considering to move from Orcad Capture 16.6(hotfix 048) to 17.2(hotfix 031). Seems like one can open 17.2 designs in 16.6, but I wonder if there could be some pitfalls when doing this?...

RE: search list and return the match list

Quek, sorry to point out that this can be done rather more concisely: LIST3=setof(elem LIST2 exists(pat LIST1 index(elem pat)) ) this returns: ("dad" "bad" "map" "lap" "glad") Which isn't quite the...

RE: ocean script, sens analysis and ?addInstancesUsingWildcards option

RE: Open ADE-XL in graphical mode via SKILL

When an ADE-XL view is opened, it can be opened either in read mode or in edit mode. Is it possible to toggle between these two options in an already opened ADE-XL view? (similar to the function...

RE: ADE-XL: Save statistical scatter plot setup

Dan, You might need to set the evaltype to "all" (only available in ADE Assembler) to get this to work - that way it's done at the end. Note, I've not tried this at all. Either way, it's a reasonable...

RE: Open ADE-XL in graphical mode via SKILL

No. There is a large number of requests for this, but unfortunately it's a considerable amount of work to enable it. The database and structures are a lot more complicated than in schematic and layout,...

RE: How to Save Optimized Design Variables to a new Corner for Later Simulation

Justin, This is not really how the optimiser is expected to be used (which explains why there is nothing to create a corner from the optimiser results that you pick). Normally what you would do is go...

How to find Cadence install location in 17.2?

RE: skill command for layout execution
