well I never did check sourcelink but did run searches on all the documentation I have for 15.2, I don't have 15.1 or 15.0 installed anymore, no need for those releases and don't have time or disk space to install them right now for that. Mike no need to spend your valuable time looking, you need to concentrate on CDNLive, for them problem is solved now I just get very frustrated with cadence's documentation where its obvious that there is a lot of focus on things like tool name changes which have no value added for the end user and things such as this go by unmentioned in the documentation. BTW when I pull up the documentation isn't it reading it from Cadence through the internet via a browser in my case netscape. If so why would a search not find the same info on sourcelink? BTW if anyone from EMA is out there listening the output can indeed be generated from 15.2, there is a post in the archives that states EMA said the output could not be generated. Thanks all for your once again this forum proves its value added to the users! -----Original Message----- From: Michael.Catrambone@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Michael.Catrambone@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 12:41 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Generating good fabmaster output from 15.2 Carl, I deleted/commented out these entries as well to get past this issue. I have seen this a while back and I thought I found something on Sourcelink or in the Documentation that indicated that they were obsoleted starting from PSD 15.0. I don't remember where at this point but if I find it I will let you know. Mike icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx@freelists.org on 07/11/2005 11:20:06 AM Please respond to icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: <icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Generating good fabmaster output from 15.2 Carl, Cadence eliminated all three of these: COMP_RATED_CURRENT COMP_RATED_POWER COMP_RATED_VOLTAGE Even though reassigning these to existing ones can correct the errors I have chosen to delete these three lines from the parts.txt file and all is well.

I was able to produce the same formatted output in 14.2 by reading the manual on the Extract Data Dictionary. I changed the cds2fab script component view extract for the following fields. COMP_RATED_CURRENT to COMP_MAX_POWER_DISS_DEVICE COMP_RATED_POWER to COMP_MAX_POWER_DISS COMP_RATED_VOLTAGE to COMP_VOLT_TEMP_MODEL those were the offending fields which used to work in 14.2 and now don't 15.2, I'm pretty sure that those field don't align as 1 to 1 swap, but we never populated the 3 fields COMP_RATED_CURRENT, COMP_RATED_POWER, COMP_RATED_VOLTAGE in allegro with any data anyway there fore they always output at the end the line as !!!. The fields I chose to replace to hold the output with the same number of fields we also ones that we don't populate with data and are kind of close I guess. Again thanks James Hope this helps all -----Original Message----- From: Jim Clymore [mailto:jlc@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 08, 2005 5:50 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Generating good fabmaster output from 15.2 Hi Carl, Yes, the extract view names have changed for 15.2. You need a new config file from Fabmaster.

I have recently run the cds2fab program which generates the paymaster output but my contract manufacturer Sanmina has stated that the format has changed and all I have done different is run it on a 15.2 design database. I compared the files myself and have noticed huge chunks of data missing related to field associated with extract views. Does anyone know if the extract view field names for views have changed in 15.2? > >Thanks in advance for anyone that can shed light on this > >Carl > >************************************************************ >* Carl T.
