Check, Procapture, viewdraw: Schematic components cannot be found.


Record #1273

Product Family: Software

Product Line: ViewLogic

Product Part: Workview Office

Product Version: 7.5

Problem Title:
Check, Procapture, viewdraw: Schematic components cannot be found.


Problem Description:
When loading a schematic, or when running the program Check, the following
types of errors occur:

Sym_error - Symbol xc3000:IBUF not found or empty

This may happen for any family or any component.

This can be caused by the library being specified incorrectly in the
viewdraw.ini. Either the path to the libraries is incorrect, or they are
not declared as 'Megafile' as they should be.


Solution 1:

Be sure that the libraries in the Viewdraw.ini appear as follows. The [rm]
denotes a read-only megafile, as the Unified libraries are on the PC.

For Proseries:
DIR [p] . (primary)
DIR [rm] <viewlogic_interface_path>\unified\xc3000 (xc3000) **or any family
DIR [rm] <viewlogic_interface_path>\unified\xblox (xblox)
DIR [rm] <viewlogic_interface_path>\unified\builtin (builtin)
DIR [rm] <viewlogic_interface_path>\unified\xbuiltin (xbuiltin)

For Workview Office 7.x:
dir [p] F:\wvoproj\testpcb
dir [w] F:\wvoproj\testpcb (primary)
dir [rm] D:\Xilinx14\viewlog\data\xc4000x (xc4000x)
dir [r] D:\Xilinx14\viewlog\data\logiblox (logiblox)
dir [rm] D:\Xilinx14\viewlog\data\simprims (simprims)
dir [rm] D:\Xilinx14\viewlog\data\builtin (builtin)
dir [rm] D:\Xilinx14\viewlog\data\xbuiltin (xbuiltin)
