ocean eyeDiagram hardCopy() not working

bdjones
Hello,
I have an Ocean script that uses the 6.1.5 function eyeDiagram() to create eye diagrams.  It's working quite nicely.
However, I'd like to use the hardCopy() function to print these plots to .png files, this isn't working.  In the .png file, the axes and labels are present, but the waveforms are not on the plot.
I can use hardCopy() to print non-eye waveforms with no problems.
I'm using IC6.1.5.500.3 on Linux 2.6.18-238.el5.
Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.  Block of the code below.
Thanks!!
Brian

analysis('tran ?stop "10n" )
...
run()
selectResult( 'tran )
plot(VT("PAD"))
hardCopyOptions( ?hcOutputFile "plot_non-eye.png" )
hardCopy()                   ; plotting non-eye diagrams works fine!!
newWindow()
ed_pad = eyeDiagram( VT("PAD") 0 10n 1.5n )
plot(ed_fen)
hardCopyOptions( ?hcOutputFile "plot_eye.png" )
hardCopy()                   ; this does not work, eye diagram waveforms are missing!

    This may have been fixed - so try the latest IC615 ISR. If not, please contact customer support.

    Hi Andrew, Thanks for the reply. I just tried this with our latest installed releases, IC6.1.5.500.5 (07/19/2011 04:50 (sjfdl053)) and Spectre 10.1.1.181.isr12 32bit -- 27 Jul 2011. I'm still getting the same behavior -- eyeDiagrams look good, but waveforms don't appear on the file generated by hardCopy(). As far as I can tell, IC6.1.5.500.5 is the latest ISR, although there are more recent versions of MMSIM (10.10.204). Would that make a difference in this case? I'll contact customer support in parallel. Thanks! Brian

    Hi Brian,

    I just checked, and it worked for me. I am on the move and couldn't check precisely what your original post said you were calling, but I had no problems with ISR5. The MMSIM version shouldn't matter.

    So a service request is the best option.
