Creating custom strokes in Virtuoso?

archive

Just wondering if anyone here could help me in figuring out how to create my own strokes in Virtuoso.  I've recently switched from using Mentor IC Station to Cadence VLE and would really like to preserve the strokes used in IC Station.

I've looked through the Virtuoso user's manual, but only found mention of the three files used by Virtuoso to produce strokes.  However, it seems the the stroke.il file is encrypted and this is the file that actually holds the keys to the kingdom, so to speak.  Is there a 'stroke editor' tool in Virtuoso somewhere that allows you to edit this stroke.il file?  Or are strokes not editable in Virtuoso?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • That's exactly it. Most executables are not portable from one platform to another - for example icfb, spectre - and sted is similar. The difference is that sted doesn't exist on Linux. The data they produce is platform independent.

    So you can use sted on Solaris (provided you have the software installed!) to create the strokes file, and then use that strokes file in DFII (e.g. icfb) on any platform.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Great!!
    That's what i was looking for, someone has Cadence installed on Solaris, kindly use sted to creat a set of Mentor-like keyboard strokes, and share the generated *.il strokes file.. why not??
