Hi, Is it possible to create Hover over text for fields in the form using SKILL ? I have a skill form which have multiple fields. Many users come to me and ask what each field does. I want to create easiest way to help them describe what each field means. So if someone hover over the mouse on the field, then some small popup comes up which shows the description of the usage of the field. is it possible with skill ? Greatly appreciate you help. Thanks Sanket

Forum Post: Defining waveform thicknesses and colors on a white background in VIVA
I'm trying to make viva look good using a white background and the default colors are kind of lousy (in my opinion). I read in the manual: ---------------------------------------------------- viva.graph colorBank string "default" You can use this variable to customize the set of trace colors in a Virtuoso Visualization and Analysis XL session. The default value of this environment variable is the default color bank that is specified in the display.drf file. Note: This variable does not change the colors defined in the display.drf file. Also, when you plot simulation results from ADE, the color bank from the display.drf file is honored. The color names should be separated by a comma, a semicolon, or a space. The color name can be a list of colors defined in the SVG color keyword, such as steelblue, azzure, or the RGB hexadecimal value of the color in the #RRGGBB format. viva.graph colorBank string "red; blue; green; yellow" viva.graph colorBank string "#ff0000, #0000ff, #008000, #ffff00" ---------------------------------------------------- So I tried putting: envSetVal("viva.graph" "colorBank" 'string "red blue green yellow") into my .cdsinit but nothing about the waveform colors changed. Note that I have other viva related stuff in my .cdsinit that does produce changes in viva so I know that all works. I also note that the documentation says " when you plot simulation results from ADE, the color bank from the display.drf file is honored" which strikes me as a bit confusing i.e. even though I define the colorBank in .cdsinit does the display.drf file still take precedence? I did take a look at the display.drf file and couldn't figure out where/what the color bank was. Regarding the waveform thicknesses, I find "fine" to be too thin and "medium" to be too thick (and obviously all the rest of the options just waay too thick). Is there a way to hack a file (maybe display.drf) where I can monkey with line thicknesses?

Whoops! I just quit and got back in again - now the colorBank variable seems to be working. For now, you can disregard the color part of my question. The line thickness is the remaining issue.

Forum Post: RE: How to remove/ delete the pre-existing home path and point it to new location
Hi The home path should be if installed to the c:\ drive C:\SPB_Data. Since you installed to d:\ then it would be d:\SPB_Data "Note the backslash \ not forward slash / In your reply above you have a "Forward / " slash in that path variable which is not valid. Just change that variable to D:\SPB_Data and see if capture works as intended. Hope this helps. Regards, Paul.

Forum Post: Export DXF and ODB through skill
Hello Guys, I am try to develop a skill that export dxf and odb with single button, in this skill i aim to auto fill in the name of the layer and directory where the file should save. Any idea which command we can use that? I had try to do it with "replay script" but it not user friendly enough that the file name and directory are fixed. Regards, Eugene

Don't use a scipt to do this. Use axlRunBatchDBProgram and call th brd2odb executable with the parameters that you want.

Forum Post: RE: Verilog A to symbol
Shobhit, No, that doesn't really explain why you are including one module from another module definition and not putting each module in a separate cellView. So you didn't really answer my question - just pointing to somebody else who has added files into a veriloga view (which isn't a supported use model) doesn't explain anything... Regards, Andrew.

Forum Post: RE: Waveform Viewer selection in AMS Designer
Hi David, [quote userid="383644" url="~/cadence_technology_forums/f/mixed-signal-design/38721/waveform-viewer-selection-in-ams-designer/1354955#1354955"]is it possible to have your work-around for short-term? [/quote] No, unfortunately I can't. It relied on redefining a Cadence function and I can't do that in a supportable way. This was just an experiment I made to see whether there were other side effects of the change, not something that could be provided to customers. Regards, Andrew.

Hi Forward slash was a typing error. In the home path its d:\SPB_Data and earlier path was C:\SPB_Data. Thanks, Shivapraskashh

Dear Sanket, you might take a look in the Cadence User Interface SKILL Reference - in Chapter 8 there is a paragraph "Creating Tool Tips for Fields". Kind regards, Matthias

Forum Post: RE: Generating verilog netlist from schematic
Hi Andrew, Can you tell me how to change the port ordering of buses in the verilog file which is generated by tool in virtuoso? Currently while generating, i see the buses with low to high { [0:4] for eg} port map. I need it to be generated from high_to_low ports{ [4:0] for eg}. Which option in the NC-Sim allows this to be changed? regards, Jagdish

Forum Post: RE: Avoid/Blacklist model instance from PDK
Hi Andrew, I found that code in the other post as well, but I would need some advice how to execute it. I think the adaption to my requirement I can do myself, but where do I save the file and how would I compile/start it ? And what do I have to do, to make it started automatically by pressing "Check&Save" ? If you could post a link to a tutorial would be helpful - as you see, I am a newbie in skill customization.
