    Switching between DC Operating Points & Component Parameters Reply
    Hi.
    When I annotate DC Operating Points after a simulation, I
    can't go back to annotating the original Component Parameters. This
    warning pops up for every instance label:

    *WARNING* artFindPropByName: Unable to locate property for inst="R0"
    property-name="paramEvaluate"
    After running a DC analysis and clicking: Results->Annotate->DC
    Operating Points, the correct DC operating point values appear, but
    when I want annotate Component Parameters for my component (component is the subcircuit),
    values of parameters are not displayed. "Error" is displayed instead of parameter values.

    What I must to do for back annotation of Component Parameters?

    Thanks.

    TiNat,

    So does Results->Annotate->Design Defaults in ADE not work?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Yes, it doesn't work. paramDisplayMode  is switched  automatically to "not set" value and nothing displays at component.

    What about if you do the File->Refresh in the CIW and OK all the CDF as needing refresh? That should discard effective CDF from memory.

    Of course, if your base CDF is not showing  the component parameters by default, then this won't work...

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Thank you for answers. File->Refresh in CIW helps me. But I have
    solved problem using another way (following SKILL):


    /****************************************************/
    LIBRARY = "PRIMLIB"
    /****************************************************/

    prog( ( libId cdfId )
    unless( libId = ddGetObj( LIBRARY )
    warn( "Could not find library %s." LIBRARY)
    return( nil )
    )
    cdfId = or(
    cdfGetUserLibCDF( libId )
    cdfCreateUserLibCDF( libId )
    )
    cdfId->paramEvaluate = "t nil nil nil nil"
    cdfId->paramSimType = "DC"
    cdfId->paramDisplayMode = "parameter"
    )


    I've entered file with it in .cdsinit and all is OK.
