SPB16 and Tech Files

archive
archive over 17 years ago

Hi All. I was wondering what you are doing regarding the new tech file format in relation to your skill code. Are you having to re-write any code dealing with tech files? Is there a way to export a SPB15 style tech file from SPB16? I just came across this today and I'm not too pleased, heh. Hopefully there is something I am not aware of or overlooking. CJB

    Unfortunately there's not much I can offer other than to tell you the Dave Elder posted a simple skill parser for the Xsection portion of the file. I have had to implement the Xerces parser to digest the XML in my perl code. Unfortunately, I not able to share it. Word from Cadence is that there is no way to export a pre 16.x techfile from 16.x.
