Hi David, Run the axlDesignType(t) command in the Allegro command window to check whether the -p and -f options are correct. Then try again. cmd console: dxf2a -$ -u MILS -v MM -a 2 [...] MULTIPACK_l.cnv MULTIPACK.dxf MULTIPACK.brd Regards, HoangKhoi.

Forum Post: The spec of adexl
Hi，all In ADE XL, what is the function of the "info" field in the Spec section under Outputs Setup ? Additionally, how can I input a reference voltage V1 in the Spec such that it only appears as informational text in the Results ' spec section without affecting simulations? thx

When Capture generates a BOM, the Bill of Materials menu does not have the options \ tPCB and \ t {PCB Footprint} by default, and must be manually added each time. I don't know if there's a way to make it default?

Forum Post: RE: WARNING(SPMHNI-297): Component instance property overwrite detected
Hi Rohan. This is exactly what the warning message is saying. The fact that your components are getting unplaced implies that something has changed in these components. Because of the warning you share, it looks like a property was changed/replaced, most likely, from the schematics.

Forum Post: RE: The spec of adexl
This is covered in the documentation (in the Assembler documentation it's in the chapter "Working with Specifications" chapter; I didn't check to see where it was in the obsolete ADE XL documentation, but I expect the same place): info: Returns the pass status when the result is a scalar value. It shows the fail status if the result is a waveform. You can't have a value in the spec section for an info type spec. Only for >, Add Column over the column headings, and add "Description" say). You can then put some text in the Description column for the row in question, and this will appear in the results tab too. Andrew

Forum Post: Can we see the "Max current and resistance" of traces and vias in Presto or Orcad X?
Tried posting this with a link a bit ago, but it got flagged due to a link to an image showing what I meant. Is there a way in Presto or Orcad X to see the max current and resistance of traces and vias while routing? Altium has had this feature for a bit now and I just started using Presto and was wondering if we had the same thing here. It's in the properties panel in Altium. We get a lot of info in Presto in the properties, but we're missing these. Can this be added to tool later on? Would be super handy. Thanks, Danny

Forum Post: PRESTO - IMPEDANCE value in the "Cross section Editor" not showing the proper impedances. Only ever showing "60" as being the impedance.
Does everyone else have issues with Presto? In the cross section editor, the "IMPEDANCE" tab never changes from "60" with Presto. Orcad X PCB seems to show the proper IMPEDANCE though. Anyone know if this is a PRESTO bug or just something I'm missing/ thanks, Danny

Forum Post: OrCAD Capture X Professional Stuck on "Initializing Simulation Application"
Hi there, When I do regular tasks such as open the part manager, OrCAD X Capture freezes and I see this message at the bottom with the dots updating (see the image). I recently upgraded my license from OrCAD X to Professional, and I'm using the same DSN. I'm not sure if this is getting hung up somehow, but this is frustrating and I'm not sure how to fix it.

Forum Post: RE: Issue with Level=3 MOS model in Spectre
Some more information. I reduced the model to just the MOS model: simulator lang=spice .SUBCKT MYMOS D G S * Internal MOS M1 D G S S MINT .MODEL MINT NMOS Vto= 4.100 Kp= 167.8 Nfs= 1.062T Eta= 0.000 + Level= 3 Gamma= 0.000 Phi= 600.0m Is= 1.000E-24 UO= 600.0 + Js= 0.000 Pb= 800.0m Cj= 0.000 Cjsw= 0.000 Cgso= 0.000 Cgdo= 0.000 Cgbo= 0.000 + Tox= 100.0n Xj= 0.000 + Vmax= 403.3 .ENDS I just used this model to do a DC Vds sweep (VGS=5V) in Spectre and compare it to a Spice simulator. The Spice simulation output looks like this: while the Spectre simulation looks like this: So something is not right in just the model simulation for level 3 mos model in Spectre. I don't know what am I doing wrong. Any guidance will be helpful. Thanks.

Forum Post: RE: Bill of materials
The settings for the header or combined property string "line item definition" are stored at the project level, not at the Capture.ini level. The information contained in each of the reports is stored in the Project file. Since there is no default Project file template, any new project is generated from Capture.exe which contains the hard coded defaults. As of now there is no way to permanently change this, you can set up your own TXT file with the information you wish to use and then paste it into any new project file.

Which version of OrCAD X Capture you are using? Is it reproducible with every schematic design or is happening with a particular schematic design?

Forum Post: RE: Issue with Level=3 MOS model in Spectre
For a start, there is no W and L specified on the MOS instance line, so I'm assuming some default values must be being used. With Spectre, these are 3um for both W and L, and my guess is that it must be larger (especially if the currents are that high). I don't know which SPICE simulator you are comparing against. That said, just increasing the W and L to something much larger doesn't match (I set them to 1 each as I found some reference that this might be happening with LTSPICE, but elsewhere it said 100u was the default). With 1 I needed to set wmax and lmax in the model to a bit higher to prevent a warning. This is all guesswork though since I don't know what you're trying to be compatible with and if it's even feasible to be compatible. You might want to contact the model provider to see if they provide a Spectre-compatible model or at least one for PSPICE (we have pspice_include in Spectre which gives a good level of compatibility).
