Hi Everyone

IC614 has just been released. It includes the following great features:

a. On-canvas schematic editing
b. Smart ruler markings that are editable and can be saved
c. User-defined via variants
d. Routing Integrated Development Environment for space-based router
e. Integration of layer selection panel to layout window
...
and many more.

Please download it at our downloads website and give it a try! : )

Best regards
Quek

     Hi Andrew,

     Yes we have a site startup script for environment configuration. The CDS variables which are set are: 

    CDS_LAYER_POOL_SIZE=49
    CDS_TOP_DIR=/CMC/tools/cadence
    CDS_LIC_FILE=...
    CDS_LICENSE_FILE=...
    CDS_LOG_VERSION=pid
    CDSQ=/CMC/tools/cadence/IC-5141/tools/dfII/local
    CDS_VHDL=/CMC/tools/cadence/IC-5141/tools/leapfrog
    CDS_LOG_FILE=/home/student1/guest2/CDSlogs/CDS.log.29064
    CDS_Netlisting_Mode=Analog
    CDS_LOAD_ENV=CSF
    CDS_VPCD_TLIB=...
    CDS_BIN=virtuoso
    CDS_HOME=/CMC/tools/cadence/IC-6.1.4
    CDS=/CMC/tools/cadence/IC-6.1.4

    (CDS_BIN is set within the script according to which kit is invoked, some older kits still use IC5141).

    and the script finally executes

    doCds="$CDS_DIR $CDS_TECH $CDS_BIN $CDS_ALIAS $CDS_LOG $CDS_DISPLAY &"
    echo
    eval $doCds

     I noticed in the log file that some new context files are being loaded on startup, namely:

    \o Loading menuBuilder.cxt 

    \o Loading relXpert.cxt 

    Could one of these files be causing the problem?
