de_save_all_designs() problems

I am trying to use the de_save_all_designs() function in ADS2004A. It does not appear to work in a hierarchical design. That is to say, it will save changes at the schematic level I'm currently on but nothing below that level.

I'm pretty sure that in 2003C, it would save all the schematic changes at the lower levels.

Appreciate Your Help,

Lou

Hello Lou,

I verified that de_save_all_designs() is not working correctly in ADS 2004A and 2005A.

Created a workaround, which you can download here

Please give it a try.

I tried it. It does not appear to work consistently for 2004A. I can't check the 2005A version.

I verified that my usermenu.ael does access the atf that you sent. When I remove it, I get an error message saying that it can't find the file. It appears to work once every couple of tries.

I have the following routine in my usermenu.ael file:

defun SaveAllDesignsCB()
{
de_save_all_designs();
return(NULL);
}

I have 5 layers of hierarchy in my design if that makes any difference.

I don't know if you made a typo or not, but please make sure you are using the new replacement function instead of the faulty de_save_all_designs(). Your code should be something like this:

load("de_save_all_designs_fix");
defun SaveAllDesignsCB()
{
de_save_all_designs_fix();
return(NULL);
}

You say it works once evry couple of tries. Is it consistent, or does it seem random? Can you reproduce it consistently?

You're right, I forgot the _fix() at the end. I should have been paying more close attention.

It works well.

Thank you for your help,

Lou
