1. I installed the PC version of System Designer, but it won't start up.
|
2. When I tried to start up the PC-version of System Designer, only the [CR-5000 Output Window] icon was created and I could not start up the application.
If System Designer has terminated abnormally, temporary files remain intact and
System Designer cannot be started up next time.
sweeper.exe erases these temporary files.
3. Is it possible to edit System Designer files using a note pad on a PC?
When using a word pad to edit, do not convert the files into the word pad format as you edit and save.
4. When copying System Designer's schematic data from a WS to a PC or vice versa using ftp, is there anything that requires special caution?
5. I want to assign a series of commands to keys.
Referring to the macro edit function ([Utilities] - [Macro File]) and System Designer's help information "Command Reference," save the series of commands you want in a macro file ($ZDSROOT/info/Fx.mac).
The following shows the relationship between macro files and function key settings.
Function key 1 (F1) $ZDSROOT/info/F1.mac Function key 2 (F2) $ZDSROOT/info/F2.mac :
:
Function key 11(F11) $ZDSROOT/info/F11.mac Function key 12 (F12) $ZDSROOT/info/F12.mac ![]()
Select a pin whose pin number = 1. |

( select focus:"cPin" pinNumber:"1" ) |
6. How can I copy the circuit directory (xxx.cir)?
If you use [File] - [Copy] on the CR-5000 Design File Manager menu bar to copy the circuit directory, all directories and files required for schematic data are copied.
7. Can different sheets of the same circuit be edited from several computers without causing a problem?
Zuken recommends creating individual sheets in different circuit directories and then placing them together in one circuit directory. Do this by using Save As to copy the sheets in another name or Copy Buffer to copy the net names and references directly as is.
8. I want to use the sample data to be installed.
Standard library
- $CR5ROOT/data/SDopeguide/lib/
Sample symbol library
- $CR5ROOT/data/SDsamplelib/symbLib
Sample parts library
- $CR5ROOT/data/SDsamplelib/partsLib
Sample circuit
- $CR5ROOT/data/SDsample1/digiCnv.cir
$CR5ROOT/data/SDsample2/sample2.cir
$CR5ROOT/data/SDsample1/digiCnv.cir
- This is the data for local operation.
It can be referenced or operated without special steps taken such as setting of resource files.
$CR5ROOT/data/SDsample2/sample2.cir
- This is the data for project operation.
To look up this data, you need the setting for project operation of resources.
Refer to $CS5ROOT/data/SDsample2/README.txt for example of setting.
PC version
- Choose "Sample parts library" when installing from CD-ROM.
WS version
- Choose "SAMPLE sample data" when installing from CD-ROM.
$CR5ROOT/data/SDsample2/zds/info/landata.rsc $CR5ROOT/data/SDsample2/zds/info/lanenv.rsc $CR5ROOT/data/SDsample2/zds/info/lanlcdb.rsc $CR5ROOT/data/SDsample2/zds/info/pruledb.rsc $CR5ROOT/data/SDsample2/zds/info/srchprts.rsc $CR5ROOT/data/SDsample2/zds/etc/CompKind $ZDSROOT/data/SDsample2/zds/etc/jpn/PropSpec |
9. What should I do if the results of cross references are not reflected?
Choose one sheet connector.
Choose "Yes" in [File]- [Connected Sheet]

| Set parameter and click [OK].
10. Can two-byte and kanji characters be used without causing a problem?
11. What kinds of file formats are available that can be input to or output from the System Designer?
12. I want to set the current directory when I start the File Manager.
In Windows NT, 2000, 98 and ME, there are two ways to set the current directory depending on how to start the File Manager.
In UNIX, the directory used when starting CR5000 will be the current directory.
13. I want to set the current directory for each login user when they start the Design File Manager on WindowsNT.
Activate Windows Explorer,
and move the shortcut of
"\\winnt\Profiles\All Users\Start menu\Program\CR5000 System Designer Rev.XX\Design File manager" to the folder in "\\winnt\\Profiles\\Login user name\\Desktop" and make the current directory in [Working directory] of [Property] opened from the shortcut.
With WindowsNT,
right-click on the start button of WindowsNT to directly open \winnt\Profiles\All Users\start menu from [Explorer - AllUsers].
14. I want to set the default path for each new Schematic rcpath file.
You can use the file "$ZDSROOT/info/jpn/newcir.rsc" to change the default path for the rcpath file.
To do this, open the file "newcir.rsc" in an editor like Word Pad and change the setting at "table*sec0" section.
( 1 | "Master" | LANDATA | "$ZDSROOT/info" ) | ...... | Replace the path with the one |
( 1 | "Master" | LANENV | "$ZDSROOT/info" ) | you want to use. | |
( 1 | "Master" | PRULEDB | "$ZDSROOT/info" ) | ||
( 1 | "Master" | GENEBLK | "$ZDSROOT/info" ) |
( 1 | "Master" | LANDATA | "$ZDSROOT/info" ) |
( 1 | "Master" | LANENV | "$ZDSROOT/info" ) |
( 1 | "Master" | PRULEDB | "$ZDSROOT/info" ) |
( 1 | "Master" | GENEBLK | "$ZDSROOT/info" ) |
( 2 | "sub" | LANDATA | "$ZLOCALROOT/info" ) |
( 2 | "sub" | LANENV | "$ZLOCALROOT/info" ) |
( 2 | "sub" | PRULEDB | "$ZLOCALROOT/info" ) |
( 2 | "sub" | GENEBLK | "$ZLOCALROOT/info" ) |
15. I want to copy a Schematic made by using System Designer to another tool (like Word Pad, etc.).
In the Schematic Editor, select [Edit]-[Copy to Clipboard] and make the selection of what you want to copy.
You can paste the contents of the clipboard to Word or any other Windows application.
The only data that can be copied is graphic data. (Grids, zones, or marks can not be copied.)
The copied graphic image will be black against the background of white.
