Defined variables

Carvey

New user with Ver 16.2

Can someone advise me on above?

The software program was loaded on my "C" drive, however all our designs will reside on another shared drive "P".

When I view the defined_variables.txt file I see all the set variables (majority of them) set to "C" drive.

Does some of the set variables need to be switched to the P drive?

If so which ones?

    Thank you for the reply.

    We do not have a true system admin managing our Cadence software.

    The IT guy does not know anything about board design at all and nothing about Cadence software, he just installs it for us.

    I have used Cadence at another job about 8-9 years ago.

    At that time I was trained to replace a fellow that was retiring.

    I just followed what was already in place and didn’t have anything to setup from scratch like we are doing here.

    The other user here is a lady named, Gail, she had been here 11-12 years and using OrCad.

    I have only been here a little over 2 years and also have been using OrCAD.

    Since the company upgraded to Cadence I now have some knowledge from before, however a lot has changed.

    The software has been crashing about once a day and once in awhile the database gets corrupted.

    I have taken it upon myself to try to figure out what is going on and if something needs to be changed in the settings.

    The IT guy has contacted someone at Cadence and has not replied back yet, that was 3 days ago.

    So I trying to design this first board and get all the bugs worked out so I can help Gail who will be designing her first board soon.

    I posted another problem that I’m having; maybe you could help on that as well.

    Thanks so much Mike
