Hi Pedro, If the form is not closing when you click the Close button, it's probably because you have declared the variable containing the form structure as a local variable; I mentioned this before -...

Yes. If you run with monte carlo mismatch, each instance has a unique model (assuming the models are parameterised) and so that allows it to assign different random values of the parameters to each...

This is how the tool has always worked for me, but the question was proposed to me and I’m not sure how to react. When generating dynamic shapes around square padstacks (we typically will use a square...

It appears that your psm path is a single value ("H:/Steve/Cadence/Packages"). It is desirable for this, and your pad path, to contain multiple values. Usually "." is one of them. That said, my code...
