Cat, As others said, if directionality is important, brake up the line into = multiple lines in the EBD file. That way you can avoid the ambiguity, or perhaps tool = dependence. Regarding Jon's comment on Len=3D0 being strange in real life, I just = want to say that it was decided that by convention Len=3D0 means lumped and any non = zero value means distributed. So a zero for length has no physical meaning = in terms of the length of real life traces.

Oh, I am really eager to know the answer.And if you are not sure,I = still hope you can communicate with me.If there is something wrong = totally,please let me know. resend the message: I think the description of [path description]section of the ebd = file is not detailed enough.I got confused when I meet such condition: Node A Len=3D0 L=3D2 C=3D1 Node B Should I represent it like this: =20 =20 =20 B <---@@@@@----------|--------------->A L=3D1 | | =3D=3D=3D C=3D1 | --- or like this: =20 B <-------|------------@@@@@------------>A | L | | =3D=3D=3D=3D=3DC | --- By the way,should the capacitor be connected to ground or power? How to = determine this ? In fact , I found many cases like the above one in the DIMM ebd file = supplied by molex. Maybe both representation is just the same? Or there is some description = I did not noticed?Or this is really a oversight? any response will be appreciated. cat cat_carl@xxxxxxxxx 2003-09-19 With best regards ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: =20 //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages=20 Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu =20 ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
