Make sure you enable the DRC's under Analyze - Analysis modes (in CM) then Design for Fabrication and turn them all on. Yo also need to ensure that the ruleset you have created is applied to the PCB so...

I think I'm missing a silk to silk parameter because over 2,000 drc's are reported for silk problems (I usually let the board house tend to the clipping) but the overlapping refdes's are not flagged. I...

No your not missing something. In the base levels of OrCAD and Allegro the Silkscreen checks are limited to text and lines overlapping pins and vias. For more advanced checks you would need to look at...

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to report the time of actual measurement when trig and targ happened. I currently get the measures but have to trace back what time the trig/targ might have...

Dear Andrew, Thanks for clearing the confusion. I have three doubts as follow:- 1:- What is the difference between Fixed and Variable capacitor. Any way in dc analysis the capacitance is the Fixed. How...

It's explained quite well in the spectre documentation here . (That's the SPECTRE17.1 documentation). For the second question, see How to generate a captab at multiple times throughout a transient...

Dear Andrew, Thanks a lot for the clarification. But the documentation still does not clarify how cadence distinguishes between the variable and the FIXED capacitance. Could you please explain this....

Thank you for your message. This is what I had assumed - all the software is packaged together and the licensing determines the capability and availability of the software you can use.

You shouldn't use the isChanged attribute. Use curField in your callback. eg case(formId ->curField, ("a", "Do this")("b", "do that"))

"Allegro" historically refers to the PCB layout package but within the Cadence products now the lower-level PCB layout license is called OrCAD PCB. Allegro is the name of the higher level license. The...

Okay, just so I understand, I am going to summarize. Allegro refers to a more feature rich version of the PCB Editor. The one with less features is called OrCad PCB Editior. OrCAD Capture and Capture...

The documentation does distinguish between them (it just doesn't say a great deal, mainly because there's not a great deal to say). The Fixed is the linear capacitance and the Variable is the nonlinear...

There is no tool called "Cadence". Which tool are you talking about? Then I can direct this to the right forum (and maybe answer it too). Regards, Andrew

OK, I've moved this into the Custom IC Design forum. Note that posting technical questions in the Feedback, Questions and Suggestions doesn't make any sense because that's for Q&A about the forum...

Hi Satendra, It might help to know how you're making these measurements? What are the measurement statements? Are you putting .measure statements in the netlist, or are you using SpectreMDL? Or...
