Concept HDL Error

archive
archive over 19 years ago

Hi guys! Al here again. I encountered an error while saving my schematic entry. The error reads Place holder property needs value set.

And when I am exporting the physical definition I encounter this error:

#1 ERROR(304): Cannot find a .sir file for '@pcb_lib.xc3s200pq208(entity)'. ~

Verify you have saved all changes to cell 'xc3s200pq208'.

In addition, verify the correct library for cell 'xc3s200pq208' has be~

en specified in the liblist of all cfg_package/expand.cfg files used during ex~

pansion of this design.

When binding to '@pcb_lib.xc3s200pq208(chips)', the port definition is~

determined using the 'entity' view.

1 errors detected

Thanks for the help. Ü

- Al

    Thanks Charlie! I actually downloaded their Librarian. I am thinking of installing PCB Librarian Expert by Allegro before I read your post. But the guy from CADPLEX says that it should work.

    It should. A ctx file is a csv file or comma seperated value file. You may need to bring it up in Excel and move the columns around to whatever Cadence PCB Librarian Expert expects.

    Hi Mike, It actually worked! Thanks! Can you suggest any Cadence product that generates footprints? I saw a tutorial and PCB Librarian Expert actually creates footprints but it uses .csv filename extensions. Will it also work for .ctx files? - Al

    Any comments? Thanks for the help! Ü
