wasted another day of my life trying to use PSPICE
Simply couldnt get capture to link to my spice models.
I just dont understand how someone can design something to be so difficult to use and so time wasting???
8 hours to fail to do what my spice simulator can do in 30 seconds. It trules sucks, it is a horrible piece of work.-
more hours waasted. have to use update cache???? looking through endless pages of help to locate update cache command.. more time wasted.. oh its design menu... where is that located!!!!! more time wasted.. still cant find it...
someone at cadence is truely nuts. 16 hours now wasted on what I can do in 25 seconds on other product... I just cant understand it.- 2 Replies to Jademann

for some reason after a symbol edit this program tries its level best to separate the PSPICE model from the symbol and then just refuses to link them again. This program is designed to make life as difficult as it is possible to be.....

I am gonna give up completely soon and use some of the free spice sims. I went through the whole process from start to finish and ran sim and it still cant seem to find the spice model association. subcircuit undefined.
I think I recall wasting a few days three years ago on this rubbish -
total of 20 hours later still working on one single part. I figured out that the part number is undefined. Spent another hour trying to find a way to enter some kind of part number but failed...

just going round and round all these menues which sound like they might be useful eg library properties, part manager, properties, edit part... etc and not one allows me to enter part number.
you guys are crazy. you need to sit down with a new user and see how messed up your software is.

totally given up for real. just cant figure it out. the simulator says subcircuit not defined. the part manager says part number not defined. tried to add a part number but when I tried to save it it asks me to create some kind of new file called a CIS but didnt fix anything.
It really is a mess, and I cant justify spending one more second let alone money on this .- 1 Reply to Jademann

Why would you post a technical problem with using a sophisticated software product on a financial-oriented stock message board.
Either a. clueless on how to get support, or b. trying to stir-up some muck.
Attaboy to the Cadence tech support for responding to the user in a professional manner.- 2 Replies to hightechinvestor123

I think its awesome that a user of Cadence technology is telling us how bad it is !!! When you have people like Lip bu Tan and his henchmen Ribar running the show what do you expect? I am sure they are enriching themselves and plan on selling the company when they finish getting all they can out of it and sell to some other public company !!!!!
Sentiment: Strong Sell

this all sounds like a sales opportunity.
either the competition swoops in or CDN can sell them a support contract
looks like management will have to raise someone's quota
