I think this would be best solved by contacting customer support . I think we'll need to have a web screen-sharing session to see what's going on. Can you do that? Trying to guess possible failure...

Hello! After I have setup the layers and colors to my liking in a board, how can I transfer these layers/colors to other boards? The designs use the exact same physical stack properties; it's just the...

Allegro licenses use the "legacy" menus and there isn't any supported way to change to the "OrCAD" menus. Design Status is Display>Status with the legacy menus.

So you can run Tools - Design Compare which creates a filename.xml in the same location as the board file. Run this on version1, then open version 2 and run it again. Now use File - Load and load the...

Virtuoso does not support parameterised bus pins and hence this makes doing this slightly trickier. The good news is that it's not impossible - you need to create PCells for the symbol and also the...

Hi Marcel, I think the simple answer is "no". There are some private APIs for dealing with runObjFiles, but they're not really suitable (even if they were documented) for use - they're too low level,...

Not enough information to be able to diagnose this - my guess is that maybe your PSS is struggling to converge and so is moving into invalid regions in the models. You may need to provide a longer...
