    Hi.
    When I try to run Assura in my layout window, I got an error message in
    CIW called:
    undefined function: vuiDRCrun

    Does anyone know how to solve it?

    sincerely

  2. It looks like some kind of installation problem to me. What versions of
    assura and DFII are you running?

    Andrew.

    Hi,
    I found we have a directory called assura3.1. But I don't know
    how to set it up. Even my cdsdoc command doesn't have items for assura.
    Do you know how to set assura up?

    Thank you very much!


    sincerely

    Don't top-post, please.

    1) Your Assura version must match up with your icfb version;
    there are seperate Assura 3.1.X CDROM images for IC446,
    IC50, IC5033, etc. So make sure that matches up first.

    2) Set the environment variable ASSURAHOME before running
    icfb.

    That's it. Now all you need is DRC/LVS/RCX flows, which is quite
    another issue. :)

    Hi,
    I defined ASSURAHOME in my .cshrc file:

    setenv ASSURAHOME /cad/cds/assura3.12

    Also I have included all the paths of bin directories under
    /cad/cds/assura3.12. I am using IC5.033. So I think assura3.12
    is a matched version of assura. But still I got error message:
    *Error* eval: undefined function - vuiDRCRun

    What's wrong with it?


    sincerely

    You're still top-posting.

    Could be as simple as a missing tools.whatever -> tools link.

    The person responsible for installation needs to read the Cadence
    installation docs carefully.

  7. You're being a bit picky about about this... just because you
    don't like it, doesn't mean everyone else is bothered.

    Personally I don't particularly like bottom posting, because it means you have
    to wade through all the stuff you've already read in previous postings, if
    you've been following the thread.

    But I don't get so bothered about it that I keep pointing it out...

    (And yes, I know there is a logical reason for top posting, given how
    we in the English speaking world read from top to bottom).

    Andrew.

    I am sure most people are too polite to be picky. But, I personally
    much prefer bottom posting. I follow enough newsgroups and stories to
    lose track of which message belongs in which thread. Figuring out the
    context of a top-posted message is much harder than for a bottom
    posted message. Of course, one has to take out non-relevant portions
    from the quote to keep messages within reasonable size. I generally
    agree with the points made in http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html,
    though I don't hold as strong an opinion.

    That being said, I would much rather have people reply to messages,
    because I think I value messages far more for their content than for their
    posting style. That is especially true for Andrew's messages.

    Basically, I agree. I think it is best to trim posts and respond to relevent
    portions without including ALL of the post being responded to. It is quite
    easy to go to groups.google.com to pull out the history -- assuming, of
    course, that someone isn't using the "noarchive" flag in the header to prevent
    archiving of their posts -- or to configure newsreaders like NetScape to
    preserve the history for as long as it remains on your local server (I don't
    know about IE because I refuse to use IE except where I don't have a choice).

    However, I do believe there are exceptions, such as when one is making a
    general comment relative to the thread, or responding to the post as a whole
    but not addressing specific points. In that case a top post may be better.
    And in fact, I do occasionally top-post for such things.

    Of course, if you use Outlook (which I do occasionally for email -- never for
    newsgroups [I don't know if it is usable for newsgroups]), it encourages
    top-responses, which may be fostering this propensity in newsgroups.

    [NOTE: I still use "rn" for reading newsgroups...]
