[PCB_FORUM] Re: concept Hdl - symbole editor- creating discrete....

Could it have something to do with the version of the tool you are using. I 
only use the basic package to check

library parts so have not had any need to use those Icons. I do see that in 
Tools>Customize you can select the Discrete

toolbar set but as you say it is greyed out. Have you tried using the QuickPick 
toolbar? It seems to allow you to get a 

drop down menu of parts that have already been used.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions. 
Shirley

It doesnʼt look like you have received any answer to your question so I will 
make an attempt.

You mention generating symbols for caps and I get the idea that you create more 
than 1 cap symbol.

Actually the maximum number of symbols for caps, resistors, or any discrete 
part is 4. That is providing

the user community you have wants to be able to place caps in any of the 4 
orientations.

This allows for the librarian to control the placement of all of the properties.

 

When you generate the symbol using part developer, you will get a square symbol 
and that is because

the tool knows how to place a body outline around any symbol with pins but does 
not know the difference

between a 2 pin resistor and a 2 pin cap.

 

After the Square symbol has been created, you need to descend into the part and 
delete the square box and 

draw in the graphics that you need for the part to look like a cap. This is the 
process that is needed for any

part that has graphics instead of a square or rectangular body. 

I hope this helps.

Hi all,

 

I am using cadence 15.5.1
while generating symbols for caps, i got a squire symbole instead of standard 
cap symbol.

so i have to edit squire symbole, and draw the standard caps symbole in symbole 
editor.

We have a option for inseart a standard symbols like res,caps,inductor,relay 
ect.,in standard 
toolbars.

while picking required symbol, that icon was hiding.So i am not able to use 
those tool bars.

Is there any way to use these standard discrete symbols in symbole ediotr?

Thank u

 

Regards
Felix Paul
