[PCB_FORUM] Re: 15.5 new features??

Hello.

I found the problem (thanks Helen!):
In fact I use the new Cadence tool to switch the version.
So the PATH variable was pointing to 15.5 but I always launch projmgr by 
clicking on a .cpm file.

And this file association was linked to projmgr 15.2.
So it was starting from 15.2 but with 15.5 DDLs and it caused a conflict (but 
working) between both versions:
For example the startup splash screen contains a text saying 15.5 and inside 
the Cadence logo, it says 15.2....

Now it is 15.5 everywhere and it works fine:
copy paste, new component browser and PDF output...

Just a question: how to set the path to PSM (I have a PSMPATH in pcbenv) to 
avoid the message in Component browser:
footprint not found (and not displayed too, of course)...

Thanks in advance.

    William.

  Hello all.

  The What's new in 15.5 shows that one of new features is the ability of 
copying schematic parts from a design to another with copy/paste.

  Clipboard Support for Design Entry HDL Schematics
  Allegro Design Entry HDL 15.5 provides support for industry standard copy and 
paste feature, which enables you to copy and paste parts of a schematic from 
one design to another. In addition, you can copy text and bitmaps from text 
editors and graphics editors, respectively, to the schematic canvas.
  You can also paste previously entered commands in the console window for 
repeated execution. (This is not really new!)
  While copying schematic parts, if there are signal name clashes, a two-column 
dialog box containing current signal names and Allegro Design Entry 
HDL-recommended signal names appears


  When I have downloaded the first release of 15.5, I can access this feature.

  Few month later, an ISR was available. It took it... the feature wasn't there 
again.
  I now took the latest ISR on sourcelink and the feature is always not 
there.....

  Does somebody see it or Cadence forgot to implement it? ;-)

  I tried with Allegro Project Manager?Design Entry HDL and Allegro PCB SI 
610/Allegro Design Entry HDL 610



  I also did not see the new part browser...., Concept always crashes with PDF 
plotter output....

      William.
