Doubts about Allegro Design Entry HDL

Joao Demier

Hi, 

I've been using the Allegro Design Entry Cis for quite some time but now the company decided to start using the Design Entry HDL, so we could take the advantage of using constraint manager rules directly on the schematic.

I already found out how to convert capture libraries using the Librarian Expert, but I still have some doubts about the usage of the program:

1) How do I add the converted libraries to the schematic? When I try Component/Add... there is no option to add a library to the existing set.

2) Is there a way to have a sort of part manager on HDL? On CIS, I used the part manager to add components already containing informations like spice model, footprint, description, datasheet, etc, using a database. This would be really helpful.

3) On the capture, when I click a certain component to add it, there a preview showing the schematic symbol. That is helpful when I'm looking for a generic symbol. On HDL, there are only some text informations showing. Is there a way to show a preview of the symbol?

 

 Thank you very much for your attention.

    1) You add new DEHDL libraries to your project using the Project Manager Setup form. You'll see a list of available libraries and you can add/remove and from the active list.

    2) A similar Part Manager exists for DEHDL. It's used to show which (if any parts) are out of sync with the corporate libraries. I think what you're looks for is the Component Browser - it will show similar data like Capture-CIS when adding a part.

    3) The Component Browser in DEHDL will show the relevant Part Table Row property data, the symbol graphics and the Allegro PCB Foorptint (if one has been associated).
