Opus

Is there a way to export schematic graphical information out of opus to
a text based file format? I'd like to add the schematic view to an
existing tool canvas that is outside of Cadence.

 

File->Export->EDIF 200...

It doesn't use a key last time I used it (IC5141 USR2), and really
works
surprisingly well.

If the other tool has an import EDIF function, you should NOT expect
it to work perfectly without help. You'll always end up needing to
run
a perl script over the exported EDIF (or do fixup in the other tool's
scripting language) to deal with scaling, or obscure CDF parameter
types, stuff like that.

Thanks for the guidance. I get some errors that I'll have to resolve:

Error : Could not find layer (null) purpose drawing for library ComponentLib
Error : Could not find figureGroup for library, figure not written
Warning : Number not written. Value out of valid range (1.0e-35 -
1.0e+35) for property cdfData

 

Hi Jay, running a perl script of EDIF is doing it the hard way.
What you really want to use is a Common Lisp script over edif.
The edif file can be read in trivially, with the READ function and
modified structurally and dependably.
