Only speaking for myself, of course, but I believe the main reason for
the "site" restriction is to let the vendor pull the license when
someone starts leasing their licenses to another company. Without it,
there is nothing to prevent someone from setting themselves up as a
software rental company and reducing the incentive to buy the software
from the EDA vendor.

Redefine the default left mouse button draw through bindkey in layout by doing
this:
(foreach application '("Layout" "Schematics "Symbol")
(hiSetBindKey application "<DrawThru1>" "geSingleSelectBox()"))
)
and this will stop the dragging behaviour in layout, schematics and symbol
editor.
I've used this approach for the last 10 years or so since I never liked the drag
behaviour myself.

Look in the menus files in <instdir>/tools/dfII/etc/tools/menus (particularly
the README file in there, and simui.menus - I think).
However, in IC5141 (coming end of this month), wavescan is integrated in
ADE (it's a choice of awd or wavescan), and so doing this will become
unnecessary. Things like Direct Plot, the results browser, outputs pane and so
on will use wavescan as an alternative to awd.
Regards,
Andrew.

Don't get cdsSpice parameters and hspice parameters mixed up. They are
completely separate and distinct.
cdsSpice is used as a preprocessor, and so will expand cdsSpice parameters to
fixed numbers before the hspice final netlist is created.
As for doing what you're doing, I can't easily test it right now, but probably
escaping the = might be a good idea.

hi,
Just copy over your design to the linux machine.
For example:
scp -r your_design Vincent@139.234.34.56:/ee/Vincent/ADC/
Then set up the environment variables in the linux machine.

If you run spectre from command line, after opening the Results Browser, you
have to middle mouse click on the spectre rawdata directory and pick "Create
ROF" which creates the Run Object File (ROF) and you should be able to plot
the signals to the waveform viewer.

Maybe I should explain a bit how to use this one:
Once your workspace is cluttered with dfII's windows, move the mouse over a leftover empty bit of the desktop, and roll the wheel: the windows will raise to top in turn.

Kholdoun,
do you know also a program that is open source ?
I found so far:
- a perl module that is unreadable to mere mortals
- a C program that is too restricted (expects stream data that is not compulsory and crashes when it s not there).
I made a few tests to turn GDS2 to openGL code, compile and run, and that looks OK ; but I still rely on a proprietary GDS2 stream-to-text converter.

Yes, I've tried the recreate netlist, plus I've looked at it. The new code
reflecting the changes is there. I'll investigate the system clock thing.

Does the netlist change when you change the schematic or not ?
What if you use "Recreate Netlist" instead of "Netlist and run" ?
If your data is stored on a remote machine, the problem could be
related to different system clocks between the two machines.

Do you check and save your toplevel schematic before starting
simulation?
Are you changing any referenced libraries?
Check the input.scs file in the netlist directory in your Project
directory to see if its date change.
Do you have any saved simulation data that accidentally get viewed
instead of your new ones?
Are you creating the netlist or are you recreating the netlist?

Frederic,
This is exactly what SKILL++ is for. I suggest you do it in SKILL++ rather
than trying to find a tortuous way of doing it in SKILL. In SKILL you can assign
function objects to variables in let statements:
let((mylocalFunc)
myLocalFunc=lambda((arg list) body...)
; and then call them using funcall:
funcall(myLocalFunc arg1 arg2)
)
but in SKILL++ it's cleaner:
let((local vars)
procedure(myLocalFunc(arg list) body...)
; and then call them
myLocalFunc(arg1 arg2)
) ; let
For a quick intro to SKILL++ look at my article:
http://sourcelink.cadence.com/docs/files/FFF/199/skillpp.html
Regards,
Andrew.

Jim,
But in SKILL++ the lambda is hidden if you use the:
let(()
procedure(myLocalFunc1(...) ...)
...
)
approach. Any functions defined within the let are automatically made local
variables within the let.
So I don't see much benefit in having flet() over ordinary let() in SKILL++
Just my $0.02...
Andrew.

There is in the double-click code I sent before an example of a need for a local function that has been bound as a function. I need a named function only to satisfy gePointQuery 's way of taking "filter" functions, but I want to throw it away after that.
BTW, It would be nice that the gePointQuery function accepts either a string or a funobj for the filter
Andrew Beckett wrote:

....
);let
resume()
But it seems my procedure does not "finish" properly, I still have a prompt of "ILS".
Call me stubborn,but...would foresee any problem with a letfun(arg1 argrest) macro that would unquote argrest and then do something-like
mapcar(lambda((f) putd(f nil) ) arg1)
?
