Title: changing/adding variables problem Post by svensl on Jun 20th, 2005, 10:45pm I have encountered a rather odd problem in Cadence, mainly in the Analog Design Environment. I did not have the problem before. Let me explain. For some reason I cannot edit or change variables. For example, when setting simulation variables in the Optimizer I cannot add them. As always I do Variables -> Edit/Add and then select the ones I would like to add and assign maximum, minimum, and initial values. However, when clicking OK or Apply it will not add them. The CIW tells me that no variables were added. Hmm...... There a similar problem occurs when trying to change simulation variables directly in the analog design environment. Furthermore, when trying to remove added outputs from the window I wanted to print cannot delete them. I don't know of this makes any sense. I hope someone has encountered something similar before and can share his/her thoughts. Thanks. Svensl |
Title: Re: changing/adding variables problem Post by Andrew Beckett on Jun 21st, 2005, 6:23am It sounds as if it could be the good old LANG problem - reading between the lines of what you said. Try doing: Code:
if you're a csh user, or: Code:
if you're a sh, ksh, or bash user. Do this in the shell before you start DFII (e.g. icms). One of the symptoms of LANG being set to something unusual (and this is rather more common on Linux) is that you can't select from any list boxes - or rather, DFII ignores your selections. Regards, Andrew. |
Title: Re: changing/adding variables problem Post by svensl on Jun 21st, 2005, 7:26am Yes, it was a LANG setting problem. Your suggestion worked. By the way, Cadence is running on Linux. Thanks. |
Title: Re: changing/adding variables problem Post by Andrew Beckett on Jun 21st, 2005, 12:06pm I think we may have solved this LANG issue in recent subversions - but I've not checked, since I have LANG set in my login system as a precaution, given the large number of different versions I work with in customer support.
