Hi all ,

Please read VBS text below :

 

Option Explicit

Scripting.AddTypeLibrary("MGCPCB.ViewerPCBApplication")

Scripting.AddTypeLibrary("MGCPCB.Application")

Scripting.AddTypeLibrary("MGCSDD.KeyBindings")

Dim pcbAppObj : Set pcbAppObj = GetObject(, "MGCPCB.Application")

Dim pcbDocObj : Set pcbDocObj = pcbAppObj.ActiveDocument

If ValidateServer(pcbDocObj) = 0 Then

  MsgBox "Server validation failed.",16,"Net name Script"

End If

'--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  pcbAppObj.Gui.ProcessKeyin("ons")

  Dim dispCtrlObj

  Set dispCtrlObj = pcbDocObj.ActiveView.DisplayControl

  Dim GlobDispCtrlObj

  Set GlobDispCtrlObj=dispCtrlObj.Global

  GlobDispCtrlObj.MiscItems(epcbDCSelHilShadowMode)=True

 

If anyone know why all red lines just do not do anything ?

Thank you all .

NxDat Plugin

Hi,

I use Calibre NxDat and would like to build a custom plugin.  I'm an experienced coder but I've never created a plug in for software that doesn't have a lot of tutorials online.  Can someone help give me a push start here?

 

I'm using Visual Studios.  I went to reference the COM but I'm not even sure which dll's to point to.  I tried a few in the bin directory of the program but it says they aren't accessible.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Matt

DxDesigner - How to Select a Group of Parts and Move or Cut

In DxDesigner:

  1. How do I select a group of parts and move them together (not cut and paste) without clicking in each of the parts individually?
  2. Is there a way to set up the Selection Filter so that I can hold down the left mouse button, draw a selection box around a group of parts, and cut them?  When I try to do that, it either doesn't work or it only cuts text.

Hi,

 

I need to work with an STM32F4 series MCU and could not find any part or project anywhere including PartQuest. I also checked ECAD Part Wizard but it doesn't work for me since I don't have MS Office installed.

 

Can you please direct me to right materials on this issue.

 

Thanks in advance.

How to get total sheet count?

July 23, 2015, 5:35 pm

This is regarding DxDesigner in EE795 Flow.

 

For my flat schematic I want to get a total sheet count.  So, I have been using the following function but I noticed that this function only identifies the number of sheets that are currently open.  So for example if you have a 5 page (flat) schematic and one sheet is open then this function will output 1 as the total sheet count even though there are 5 sheets in the schematic.  Is this how it's supposed to work or is this a bug?  I don't want to have to open each of 200+ sheets in my schematic to figure out the total number of sheets.

 

Application.SchematicSheetDocuments.Count

 

Secondly, is there a different function that can be used to obtain the total sheet count?  Thanks for help.

visECAD Viewer - License

Hello guys,

 

i tried to install the free visECAD Viewer on my laptop, but i wasn't able to start it up.

 

1) first of all i got the license file via email with "a long file name".txt

 

2) then i installed the program and copied the license file into a default license folder like (C:\license\visecad)

 

3) as last step (as it was written in the license mail), i had to create a system variable named "MGLS_LICENSE_FILE" and set its value to "C:\license\visecad\filename"

 

=> visECAD dosnt start

 

i tried to set the variable value in 3 different ways:

- without the license name (just linked to the folder)

- include the license name

- with the .txt ending... but nothing helped me out.

 

maybe there`s a knows problem with the installation? or the .txt ending is maybe wrong? but i wasn't able to find something about the problem in this forum.

as last step i would install the whole expedition on my laptop for reviews, but a viewer would be a bit smarter.

 

would be cool if someone here know this issue or could help me with this problem

 

greetings Michel (:

Different results with DDRx wizard

Dear All,

struggling to understand why simulating manually a DDR DATA Line give me a different results then simulation the same line within DDRx wizard.

 

See picture below. Cyno is the net simulated manually and in red is the view of the files auto-generated in DDRx. The wave's shape seems to be similar but the Cyno it is extends more.

 

Very appreciated any advice.

Hi,

 

I've been trying out the PADSVX.1.1 standard plus for a couple of days, trying to create a new part in the xDM library, everything seems find except the symbol I created is not assigned to the part:

 

Here I created a symbol and it's show up under symbol partition ok:

Then assigned the symbol to a part as Gate A

 

Saved everything, check part says no error and refreshed the window.

 

It says none associated symbols under part partition

 

And I was not able to use the part at all due to lack of symbol.

 

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Niu
