Exporting schematic from Multisim to Cadence Allegro

Greetings,
My company owns a copy of Allegro and Multisim. I'm having a bit of a hard time convincing the powers-that-be that we need another SPICE/schematic capture and/or PCB layout program.
Does anyone have a method for getting schematics, hopefully with footprint and pinout information, from Multisim to Allegro? I've been searching the net for a while now off and on, and I'm coming up empty on this. The best I can come up with is a straight netlist export/import, but then I have the issue of updating part libraries in both programs. So, I thought I'd throw the question to this forum and see if anyone else has dealt with the same or similar issues and has either a solution or a "can't be done in a reasonable amount of time" conclusion they'd like to share. (I mean, I'm pretty sure I could WRITE a program to convert between the two, but it would take half a year or more at my next-to-nil level of expertise in the file formats of each program. Way before that point, Orcad or Ultiboard would be cheaper).
Thanks for your time,
Mike

Hi,
When you transfer a Multi-page design from Multisim to Ultiboard, all the parts are transferred at the same time and placed outside of the board outline and there is no way to automatically group parts that come from a specific page.
Now, one thing you could do is create a Part group in Multisim. Open a page and select all the component, then go to the Spreadsheet View, Components tab. Go to the Part group column, click one of the cells and enter a name for the group. Repeat for other pages if necessary.
Transfer the design to Ultiboard. Now, let's say that you want to place on the board outline only the parts from a specific page. In the Spreadsheet View go to the Parts tab. In the Part group column select the entire group; only the components that belong to this group will be highlighted. Now you can simple drag and drop the entire group of components.
Hope this helps.

Exporting components from multisim to ultiboard

I would like to export my design from multisim to ultiboard. I have multiple pages in my schematic in multisim and I when I export it to ultiboard, I would like the components in a page to be placed near each other in ultiboard. What should I do ?
Solved!

Importing design changes from Multisim to Ultiboard

Hi. I have designed a schematic in Multisim and exported the design to Ultiboard for making the PCB. Once I have placed the elements in their location in ultiboard, I would like to do a minor modification to the design. But when i apply the change to schematic in multisim and export it again to Ultiboard, the parts locations will turn back to their original placing and I have to place them again from the beginning. Is their anyway to make ultiboard understand that just import the changes from Multisim ?

Hello,
What you need to do is Forward Annotate (Transfer menu) the design from Multisim to Ultiboard. This action will only update the changes you make in the schematic.
For your reference here are some tutorials on Multisim/Ultiboard:
NI Ultiboard Best Practices Guides
Give it a try and let us know this works.

NI Digital Electronics Board DAC and ADC access from Multisim

Is it possible to use the ADC and DAC functionality of the NI Digital Electronics Board from a circuit designed in Multisim?
I would like to have my students be able to digitally sample an audio input, perform transformations on the data stream, and listen to the effect. Nothing particularly fancy.
Thanks,
-Bret Wood

Hello,
In order to use the ADC/DAC you need to define a protocol and this goes beyond the scope of the PLD schematic in Multisim.
LabVIEW can be used to accomplish this, there are some examples that you can use as reference, they can be found in the NI Example Finder.

How can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer or hard drive. My old computer died and I want to get my photos onto my new computer. Thanks in advance.

HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it

Can not export data from form tracker

Hi there,
I have set up a lovely form for collecting data. It all comes into the Adobe Tracker and the Responses file fine.
What i wish to do is export data from the responses file into another format. I should be able to do it from the Export button on the left but it is 'blanked out' and does nothing if I push it. I can't find any details on here or the internet relating to this. And yes, there is data in the file to export .
Hoping you can help.
Many thanks in advance.

I have the same problem but... I created two forms for two separate purposes and have had responses to both.
One of them allows me to export the data and the other does not.
Does anyone out there have an answer for this seemingly random anomoly?
Regards

Exporting contacts from webex connect?

Does anyone know of a way to export contacts and groups from webex connect?
I have way to connect with pidgin and get them into the pidgin contact file then put script together to make a CSV to import into IM&P for each user. I'm looking for a better way to do this with WebEx connect or the Cisco webex connect/jabber client directly if possible. On the Cisco webex connect admin web tool there is not a way to export contacts in mass either. I'm thinking of opening ticket with them to get a export of all users contacts hopefully.
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPhone App

Replying to my own post... for the better of the communirty here. I reached out to WebEx and there is no way to export contacts from WebEx Connect and they don't have a way either currently. Left to third party clients and piecing your own solution (script) together currently and running it with each user manually.
Would be nice if they would add Export/Import Contacts option to the Jabber client then when you imported contacts it pushed them to the server from client PC instead of an admin having to bulk import a bunch of user contacts.

Export data from database table before database migration

Hello,
We are planning to migrate our SAP ERP 6 Ehp4/NW7.01 from Oracle 11.2 to IBM DB2 v. 9.7 database. During test migrations I have established that we spend a lot of time for one particular table (COEP). Because we donu2019t have possibility to archive this table before migration I have an idea to export data from previous years from this table to the file system (using an ABAP report), delete those data from table before migration and then after migration, import back to the database from the file system.
Does anybody have any concerns or suggestions about this idea?
Thank you for your answers
Andrej

Hello Andrej,
I strongly do not recommend to do so.
I am not sure whether technically this could work at all..
Even it if would work .. In order to really save time, the export and the import would have to be a dirty one (meaning the system is operational and in production). With this there is a high risk to produce inconsistencies on this table. And you most likely will receive no support if something unforeseen happens and you end with problems.
Also your approach (if it should work at all) , would have to be tested thoroughly by you , also protecting the table from any changes.
I do not believe that this can save any effort compared to implementing advanced migration techniques like table splitting.
On top, you would go high risk to end with an unsupported system, with not using official migration procedures

Unable to export data from Web Access Data Sheet in Sharepoint to local excel or access file

Greetings and good morning.
I'm going to start off in broad terms with this question because I'm not 100 percent sure what information to provide.
Long story short, we've got a Web Access Data Sheet list hosted in a Sharepoint 2010 environment. It is accessed and used by multiple people throughout the day. It contains several thousand line item entries. I'd call it a large data sheet.
I think the size of the data sheet is casuign some instability in the list. I'd like to be able to export a defined range of data from the list into a local excel or access file. After that, I'd delete the stuff on the Access list to improve performance.
But...when I attempt to use the Sharepoint Action bar to export - Excel locks up/crashes. If I try to export to Access, I get a similar issue.
Any ideas? Could anyone begin by telling me what other information is required?

Hi,
If you would like to export data from Access Web Database in SharePoint 2010, you could go to Design With Access page in Settings. The url in my environment is http://sp/tt/_layouts/accsrv/ModifyApplication.aspx . Then choose the Table and export it to Excel
or Modify it in Access.

Help with exporting data from pdf form

I have about 100 pdf forms that I created in adobe forms central and distributed as a pdf form (rather than on the web). I am trying to export the data into a spreadsheet but when I export it, the fields are all jumbled in the csv file, as in they are not in the same order. I need to export the data all together so I'm going to the forms menu and selecting "manage form data" and then selecting "merge data files into spreadsheet". I tried exporting a single file but that gave me something really weird.
Please help, I have a deadline next week to analyze this data and can't make sense of it once it is exported to a spreadsheet.

Would you please share your form with me and send me one of your pdf forms and some of the csv files?
You can share your form by doing the following:
1. Click on the “Share” icon on the bottom left corner.
2. Click on “Add Collaborator” on the popup menu.
3. Enter [email protected] under “People to share with”.
4. Set subject to "Export data from pdf form"
5. Click the “Share” button on the bottom right of the dialog.
Thanks

How do you export messages from Ovi Suite?

As the title says, how do you export messages from Ovi Suite?
I know how to export messages from Nokia PC Suite, but it doesn't seem to be possible in the new Nokia Ovi Suite.
Here is how I would do it in the Nokia PC Suite.
1. I click the Messages icon to open Nokia Communication Center.
2. I click on the Messages option on the left pane to view only messages.
3. In the main window I mark the messages I want to export.
4. Then I go to File menu and chose Export.
5. Choose destination folder and I'm all set to export my messages from my Nokia.
I can chose between the formats CSV and VMG (vMessage) for export. If more than one message is marked only the CSV format is available. But what you can do to export several messages in the VMG format is to mark them all in the main window and press CTRL+C or right click and chose Copy to copy them all to RAM memory. Then all you have to do is create an empty folder on the desktop and paste them in there by pressing CTRL+V or right clicking and chosing Paste.
That's all there is to it, using Nokia PC Suite. So how do you do this in Nokia Ovi Suite? You don't, right?
And this **bleep** Ovi Suite is supposed to replace PC Suite?
Thank God I won't be needing neither of them much longer. I am switching to Android and HTC. Good luck with Ovi, the Ovi Player, the Ovi Suite, the PC Suite, the Symbian, the S60, the Symbian^1 (S60 5th edition), the Symbian^3, the Symbian^4 and what not.

I believe OVI took a step in the right direction with this option. I also believe it was made available due to the fact that OVI Suite cannot take a huge number of messages altogether. This option was made available so that the messages could be backed up.
However, I'd like to suggest the following, if possible.
1. Make Nokia OVI Suite be able to handle a huge number of messages.
2. Have the option to export only selected messages.

How to export photos from photo gallery to my iPad

How to export photos from photo gallery to my iPad

I had no trouble finding the "Export" tools in the "File" menu. They are greyed out when no photo is selected, but they are functional after selecting one or more photos.
I agree that it would be nice to have the "Reveal in Finder" option back, but they probably don't want us mucking about inside the Photos library structure.
