Hi,

I use DxDesigner that comes with PADS9.4 ES suite.

I am trying to use ivs_pulse from Eldosource library for simulation. When I try to edit some properties of the component like PW, PER I get the following message :

"The property is not defined. Please define property before editing"

could you please help me out in this ? I also went to Tools --> Property Definition Edition . Here I could see the above properties defined by System. I then ticked the box preceding the property but still I get the same error message.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance,

No one else has this question

The picture isn't very clear, what file does the project point to in Setup - Settings - Project - Property Definitions.

It points to netlist.prp

The location is given below

%SDD_HOME%\standard\netlist.prp

If you open the picture in a new tab and then magnify, you can see the entire screenshot. Sorry for the quality. If you need a screenshot of any particular area, I can provide you with one.

I think you should contact your customer support representative to sort this out more quickly. If you cannot do this then post this question on the Ask the PADS Team to get directly to the PADS specialists.

Are you using the Eldo Simulator? If not, then this is a symbol that is not compatible with the default simulator in HLA.

Try using the source dialog in the HLA toolbar to add a virtual source through the assisted GUI.

Thanks for your reply.

I found the source dialog but it does not appear to be enabled
