Group replica place -random parts place rotated 180

When I do a group replica place I get parts in random groups that are placed with 180 deg rotation from the corresponding part in the reference group.
Sometimes if I repeat the placement it corrects itself.
Seems similar behavior has always been there.
http://forums.ni.com/t5/Circuit-Design-Suite-Multisim/Group-replica-place-bug-w-workaround/m-p/84134...
Also, in the replica place window my master group component list has '(Yes)' next to about 2/3 of the parts.  What does that mean?

The key to making group replicate work correctly is to make sure the part order in group 1 is the same as group 2 in Select Group for Replicate Place dialog.  In the attached screen capture, the corresponding part for R3 from group 1 is R6, so in group 2 R6 must be on the same row as R3.
If the components doesn't lineup correctly, you can edit the order under Edit>>Group Editor>>Part Group, use the up/down arrow on the right side to rearrange the component order.

  • Group replica place bug (w/ workaround)

    Hi all,
    I've been working with the latest version of Ultiboard (10.1.357) on WinXP SP3, and have come across a rather annoying bug with the group replica place functionality.
    Specifically, I'm working with SMT components that are on both sides of the board, and group replica place isn't properly replicating the group. Specifically, the placement of the replicated parts is in the right overall pattern, but exact placement is subtly different, causing subsequent Copy Route commands to generate loads of DRC errors. (And, that makes perfect sense given that the part placement by GRP is not a true copy!)
    I've  found that by going through the group replica place sequence twice in a row, however, solves the problem. The subtle misalignments go away, and the resulting part arrangement, orientations, etc. are the intended copy of the source part group. 
    The attached images exemplify the behavior. GRP_1.jpg shows the buggy placement following the first run-through of the GRP sequence. GRP_2.jpg and GRP_2wtraces.jpg show the results after going through the sequence again and following a Copy Route, respectively.
    Here's hoping this is helpful to those wanting to use GRP successfully! I know I sure was disheartened when it failed initially -- I need to use this on some 96 part groups, and dispaired at doing it all manually...

  • Ultiboard parts placement problem

    In Ultiboard and desiging a new  board layout. When selecting a part from the database and press OK it takes you back to the board layout to place that part but it would select the last part you place to move and place on the board and not the part you just selected. I have upgrade to 12 and this is the first time I have seen this. Has anybody seen this problem? 
                Reggie

    The problem was when I was placing DIP parts (dip8, dip16 parts). I just made a new project and use the board Wizard to design the board. I could place the first part fine but when I would select a 2nd part from the database and press "ok" which takes me back to the board to place the part it would select the first part I place to move. The 2nd part would be placed on the board. I tried to replicate the problem today but could not but there is a new problem now. When I select a part from the database and place it and do a "ctrl-rotate I do not get the "Enter Reference Designation for part" box to show up! Also the curser cross hairs will not show up over the board outline but when you move off the board you can see the cursers. The only ways I can get it out of this is by doubling-right clicking on the board which brings up the PCB properties and X out of that to be able to select another part or do a “ctrl-W” command. If I do not do a rotate then it works fine. Looks like I will have to call tech support about this or has anybody else came across this. I did have this problem yesterday with the first problem.

  • Order and group images in slideshow with Places theme

    Hi,
    I'm getting realy comfused in the slideshow feature of iPhoto 11
    I try to get a slideshow using the Places theme (the one with the maps).
    Two things that really upset me:
    - how can I order the pictures, group them instead of having them automatically arranged by time. I may want to group two trips to the same place that took place at two different dates, without having other pictures in between.
    If I drag the pictures to the new place, iPhoto automatically adds a new map title, I don't want that
    - how can I increase the range of the locations. For example, I want all pictures taken in Portland appear in a Portland map section, I don't want it to then cut all pictures into 14 different sections of the town since I moved around taking pictures. For me it's still one unique event and one unique place.
    Can I force it to group everything within a range of, say, 50 miles, to be shown as one unique place?
    In a few words, what I try to achieve:
    1- organize the pictures the way I want (timewise)
    2- groups them into places I control.
    Thanks for any help. Without those two controls, this slideshow is unfortunatelly 100% useless to me.
    Steve

    Sorry about the slide legends -  I wouldn't have suggested changing themes if I realized you had those.
    I'm not sure why that didn't work for you, it does for me, and yes there is a setting in iPhoto preferences to turn off automatic place look up (I'm not sure it would help here, I think that primarily happens when you import photos). And ivansky makes an excellent point - there's a lot of information about this in the "Help" menu - including how to "fine tune" a location to cover a larger or smaller area:
    To manage your places:
    You can edit and delete the locations you have personalized.
    Choose Window > Manage My Places.The Manage My Places dialog appears, showing all the personalized places that are assigned to your photos.
    Do one of the following:
    To change a place name, click it and type the name you want into the field.From now on, this changed location appears in the Information pane as an option when you’re adding locations to photos or Events.
    To fine-tune a location on the map, use the plus and minus buttons (in the bottom-left corner of the map) to zoom in or out of the map. You can drag the map to move it around and drag the pin to a more exact location.You can also drag the vicinity circle larger or smaller, depending on how specific you want the location to be.
    To delete a location, click the minus sign to the right of the place name.If there are photos associated with this location name, a message appears, asking you to confirm. Click the “Delete place” button.
    When you’re finished, click the Done button.

  • 'Cancel' and 'OK' buttons in the LOV screen switch places randomly

    Hi!
    While running Oracle Forms and invoking the LOV ,'Cancel'
    and 'OK' buttons in the LOV screen switch places randomly.Has
    anyone encountered this before? Is there a way to fix this.
    Thanks in advance.

    I know that the find/ok/cancel button order is different between

    Are you testing your form both ways and seeing the different

  • IMovie9 places random audio when exporting!

    I have a problem that seems absurd. Forgive me for not being too technically inclined.
    I have spent countless hours editing a movie with music overlaid as well as audio grabs moved etc. It looks great on screen - usually.
    Sometimes when played back it loses some of the original sound. If I go to the audio of that clip and basically do nothing but check it and hit 'done', it returns.
    More confusing is when I export. I have tried exporting to iDVD and Toast to put it on DVD and for some reason it places random audio. There will be a car scene with music that I placed and suddenly there will be voices or waves crashing from a totally different source. There is no evidence of this audio when I check the project.
    Another problem is that it refuses to remove audio when I have reduced the volume to zero, for example when I have fast motion and don't wish to hear the squealing sound. My only solution is to detach the audio and delete it. This is a problem that is frustrating but can work around. The first issue is my main issue as it makes all my efforts worthless.
    The management of the audio seems quite random and uncontrollable during export.
    Does anyone have any ideas or experiences
    Thankyou

    Of course that's always the way
    As soon as I posted the question I found the possible answer.
    Speed changes not on the marks like 200% or 400% cause the problem. I have many at 80%. Exactly where I want it and if I change to 50% (looks crap) or 100% (kinda pointless) it will stuff up my timing completely.
    Wonderful. Starting to dislike iMovie. hmm

  • Divide a number into random parts

    I need to divide a number into a collection of random parts. So that the sum of all parts is equal to the number.
    E.g.:
    public void divideRandomly ( int number, int parts)
    int[] returnArray = new int[parts];
    //do random division calculations
    return returnArray;
    Lets say the number = 20
    And parts = 4
    I would then like to return an array of ints containing e.g. 3, 11, 5, 1
    OR e.g. 4,8,2,6
    Does anyone have a clue as to how I could do this?
    Cheers

    Be aware that given the wrong parameters this solution
    can take a long time to find a list. This seems misleading, as the termination condition is based
    on randomness. Although, it is possible to predict an average
    termination time.
    Basically your algorithm starts by generating initial random values
    in the range [0, maxValue]. You limit the size of the maximum
    generated value, although I'm not sure why. Obviously maxValue
    has to be greater than sum / length, otherwise it would be
    impossible to generate any combination values that add up to sum.
    Then your algorithm asks if the sum of those initial random values
    is equal to the target sum. If not, you cycle through the list replacing
    the the current position with a new random value and updating the
    current sum.
    As an example, let's suppose that maxValue is equal to sum, and
    that sum = 1000, and length (numParts) is 4.
    Assuming the minValue is 1, not 0, then the total number of
    permutations of 4 numbers that add up to 1000 is:
    165,668,499
    However, the total number of permutations is:
    1000^4 = 1,000,000,000,000
    In terms of probability, the chance of finding a solution on each try is:
    165,668,499 / 1,000,000,000,000 = 0.000165668499
    Thus, you'll need approximately 6036 loops on average to find a solution for 1,000 split 4 ways.
    For 2,000 split 4 ways, number of perms is:
    2000^4 = 16,000,000,000,000
    The perms of 4 numbers that add up to 2000 is:
    1,329,336,999
    Probability of finding a solution on each try is:
    0.0000830835624375
    Average number of tries is: 12036
    I'm impressed that the random approach is that fast.

  • IPOD Skipping to a random part  of songs

    Hi people,
    I have a 5th generation iPod. Recently since installing the latest patch 1.2.1 I've noticed from time to time, my iPOD while playing a playlist, after completing a song will start the next song, (duh wait for for the problem ) but not from the start of it.
    I have been unable to replicate this problem so I am unsure what the cause is. Sometimes it will skip tot he middle part of a song sometimes to the end. Clicking fast forward would skip to a random part of the next song.
    Starting the song again will fix it, but I find this annoying as I turn my wheel lock on while playing.
    Anyone know what's going on?
    I have tried restoring my iPOD once but that did not fix the problem.
    Regards,
    Bobs_Pizza

    Here's how to solve this problem for ALL songs
    left click your first song [in your music library]
    now scroll down to your last song, hold shift, and left click the last song
    right click and click "get info"
    click OK after the warning message [for editing multiple files at a time]
    disable the "remember playback position" option
    connect your iPod, and this should do the trick!
    also, your iPod doesn't just remember that option from iTunes, it also remembers your EQ preset for certain songs and also volume adjustment for certain songs [-100% to +100% in case the song is too loud]

  • Trigger random part of an animation

    Hi everyone,
    I have an animation with 5 different parts. I would like to trigger a random part when clicking on a button.
    In order to do that I put labels on all parts (play1,...,play5). Then I put a code on the button on the click event :
    var RandomNb=Math.floor(Math.random()*5)
    if(RandomNb=1){sym.play("play1");}
    It is just a simple test but it does not work : the animation play1 is always played no matter the value of RandomNb.
    I obviously make something wrong but I don't know what...
    Thanks in advance for your help !

    Hi, grouchou-
    There are a couple of issues with your code.  First off, Math.random() will give you a number between 0 and 1.  I'd suggest you multiply by 100, apply Math.floor(), then modulo 5 to get a random number between 0 and 4.  Secondly, you will need to use the comparison == instead of the assignment = in order to get your if statement to work.  So (if RandomNb == 1) {...}.  Right now, you're doing an assignment in the if statement, which always returns true after it finishes.
    Hope that helps,
    -Elaine

  • Basic tutorial shows adding a logo to lighthouse picture is easy, File + Place. I don't have "Place" in my dropdown. I only have "Place Embeded" and "Place Linked". What am I doing wrong?

    You are not doing anything wrong. The January 2014 update of Photoshop CC added the option to embed OR link Smart Objects. Until this Photoshop CC update, Smart Objects were always embedded in the Photoshop document. Although it made the file size larger, it was like a built-in backup plan because any placed files were included in the document. Now you have the option of embedding or linking the Smart Object. Linking references the file rather than actually copying it to your current file. In terms of your small tutorial, choose Embed. 

  • How do I place images in a rotatable divided cube using Java?

    Hello- I am creating a puzzle that is like the "Rubik's Cube,"
    although this puzzle is played on the computer monitor, and the puzzle
    involves images placed on the sides of a cube. The mouse is used to
    rotate the sides of the cube. Each side of the cube is divided into
    three sections.
    The code for the basic puzzle has been written by another person. The
    link to the puzzle created by this person (including links to the
    program files or source files) may be found at:
    http://www.geocities.com/jaapsch/puzzles/cubie.htm
    My goal is to create a puzzle (using Jaap's code or script) whereby I
    will be able to place one of my photographs on each side of the puzzle
    cube (6 different photos per cube). The goal is to rotate the sides so
    that the photos are put together correctly.
    I have been in contact via email with the puzzle's author, Jaap
    Scherphuis, and he emailed me that I can use his puzzle's code or
    script (whichever it is), and place my photos in the puzzle. In return,
    Jaap would like to get the code or script that is created. When I spoke
    with Jaap by email several months ago he told me he was too busy to
    help me at that time.
    So, I am looking for a person to help me create a situation whereby I
    will be able to include my photographs on the sides of the puzzle with
    the images divided on each side and rotatable.
    I am interested in learning how to write the code (or script) myself so
    I am able to include different photos.
    Please let me know if you might offer any assistance.
    Thank you,

  • Can't get the random part of the rotation

    I'm trying to get a movie clip to start at a random rotation
    when you click on a button. I got everything to work when the
    random rotation part is not included.
    Anytime I try to include the random code I get this error:
    "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method random.

    do a search on random in help and you'll find its now part of
    the Math class. Alternatively, have a look in the ActionScript 2.0
    Migration section in the Appendix, and you'll find that random()
    has been removed in AS3 and Math.random() is now used instead.
    Its used a little differently so its a good idea to look it
    up.

  • Place random image in Messages with Applescript - TextExpander

    I've been using Apple computers since '84 but I've never used Appplescript and was hoping for some help.
    I'd like to be able to place a random image in Messages with an Applescript through TextExpander. When I type my snippet into Messages  the Finder will open a random image from a folder using something like this:

    If I replace "Finder" with "Messages" it doesn't work. Do I need to combine 2 Applescripts to make this happen?

  • Suggestion for Multisim parts placement upon transfer to Ultiboard

    Next update for Multisim, please make the default non-polar capacitor option (film, ceramic, mica) one which matches the outlines in Ultiboard.  The default option seems to be a radial electrolytic -- not helpful if you are writing in a a bypass or timing cap.  Last time I used a radial electrolytic was in the 1990's.
    Here's why you have to fix this -- when you transfer to UB you've got a bunch of devices where the pads/holes are named with a "+" and "-" rather than "1" or "2".  You can't automatically "Replace Part" with a non-electrolytic as you immediately have a DRC error!  AND you get a design error with the "+" sign repeated on the device.  This makes for a time consuming mess with the netlist editor.
    By the way,how are you doing replacing the greek letter "mu" upon transfer to UB?

    Jackinnj,
    I've replicated the swap behavior and I'll advise R&D of the potential issues and the feature suggestion to allow a SMT default (actually the default in v12 is no shape in the first use).
    Also if you select a certain SMT shape from the Master parts list for RLCs, any subsequent use of that RLC part type should default to the same SMT footprint shape.
