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

    I was just about to reply, and then saw your subsequent edits (note these edits do not get sent as email notifiers and are only visible on the web site).

    The whole cds.lib vs lib.defs file was a continual bone of contention because it was just not possible to get the things to stay in sync - especially when lib.defs has less capability than cds.lib, and both can be edited in text editors, so which was the master?

    So we decided to move back to cds.lib and use this plugin approach so that other OA tools can use our cds.lib instead of lib.defs.

    In general I've been advising people in earlier IC6 versions to just use cds.lib (i.e. do "setenv DD_USE_LIBDEFS NO") to avoid confusion.

    Anyway, glad you got to the bottom of it.

    As for the menus, I don't really know what that's got to do with it, unless the menus are only accessed by a particular library being in your cds.lib and the menus being set up by the libInit.il within that library (maybe?). It sounds a bit odd.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
