Diagonal wires

Hi,
Could someone please explain me how to draw diagonal wires in my schematic?
Do I have to configure something?
Thank you,
Hugo

 

Just press the right mouse button during drawing of the path
switches different drawing modes. one can draw diagonal wires

 

I have no problem understanding that such obvious functions get lost in
the well of functionality that Cadence offer. First of all, the world
has gotten used to the user interface model of windows. You see that in
the way kde, which try to be a competitor, closely resembles the way
windows work.

If I do not remember wrongly, then Cadence changed some of the keyboard
shortcuts themselves during the evolution of Composer. Every company has
their own ideas on bindkeys. (That doesn't have anything to do with this
particular question) but it explains why the tutorial that I once read
does not fit the Composer I am using today.

And then comes the bindkeys between the different Cadence applications...

 

nothing to configure. Just read the tutorial, and you ll learn what a
right mouse click or an F3 key do.

I keep being astonished that most people who will use the tool day in
day out do not make that small investment.

 

Your argument on bindkeys is certainly valid. It could be solved by a
more dynamic help file reader that reflects the current bindkeys,
instead of showing defaults. Another solution would be that the bindkey
GUI would display what key is assigned to a function in the default
setup, rather than showing only the function. Tips or status line that
document the ^hi ^ge and ^sch ^le or ^lx functions would help too.

But it is still a fruitful investment to read the tutorial. Even if
the specifics are different, the clear overview of capabilities and use
model pays off.
