Altium Designer

I was building some custom libraries and I noticed that the compilation of integrated libraries does not work on my system (test data shown above). I get an error window on compilation but I do not get any errors in the 'Messages' console. A .intlib file is generated but it generates an error and removes itself if used (its size is far too small as well ~1KB). There appears to be no issue with schematic libraries and PCB libraries, just the compiling of integrated libraries. For now I am compiling the libraries on Windows and the resultant libraries work fine (even if they contain STEP files).

Hey,
when I move to devices to near to each other at the PCB, I get the following error:
No access to memory location at 1937A1A1.
ADVPCB.DLL, Base Address: 18EA0000.

Someone an idea how to fix this?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for posting your instructions to install Altium.

I believe I followed this correctly, but when I attempt to
run I receive the following pop-up window:

"The program DXP.EXE has encountered a serious problem and
needs to close."

If you have any suggestions of things to try I would really
appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Robert

Hey, guys, I installed Altium Designer 15 on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit installation with Wine 1.7.50 and everything has installed and run correctly so far, but the issue is that when I am in the PCB designer and I try to pull up the Layer Stack Manager I get a message window with the following error:


STG: Exception at 48AF0BB7.
ADVPCB.DLL, Base Address: 47D40000.

Exception Occurred In
DocumentPreferences



The wine ouput in terminal gives this:


fixme:mscoree:get_runtime_info unsupported startup flags 4
fixme:mscoree:corruntimehost_CreateDomain stub 0x1f9aa0c0
fixme:mscoree:corruntimehost_Stop stub 0x1f9aa0c0


Anyone have any idea as to what is going on here?

Tried to run it again and I got a different error message:


System Error. Code: 2.

File not found at 1A670BB7.
ADVPCB.DLL, Base Address: 198C0000.

Exception Occurred In

The only difference is that I moved AltiumMS.exe to get around an issue with STEP files.

Hi,

I am having some issues with the pcb layout, schematics work and every thing else seems fine. But the pcb layout is all gray. I'm getting loads of errors such as:

err:d3d_shader:set_glsl_shader_program >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502) from Find glsl program uniform locations @ glsl_shader.c / 6813
err:d3d_shader:set_glsl_shader_program >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502) from glUseProgram @ glsl_shader.c / 6828
err:d3d_shader:shader_glsl_load_samplers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502) from glUniform1i @ glsl_shader.c / 517
err:d3d_shader:shader_glsl_select >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502) from glUseProgram @ glsl_shader.c / 7102
err:d3d_shader:shader_glsl_select >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502) from glUseProgram @ glsl_shader.c / 7102

Is this because I have a NVS 5200M gfx card? I know it works in windows.

I had the same issue when I first tried it but I'm not sure what I have done to get it working now. Which Wine version are you using?

Try to enable GLSL: winetricks glsl=enable

And I think Altium uses OpenGL so you need it properly working.

My wine version is 1.7.50, I tried to set glsl=enabled, but it did not change anything, I believe it is the default setting. I tried turning it off. Didn't change anything. I also tried to change the ddr to gdi, but that broke it :)

With this Wine version Altium works here. Its a 64bits prefix? Well, I googled about "GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502)" and I found that maybe changing to a 32 bits could solve this error. Read more:
www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-bugs/2010-December/259942.html

And you should set winetricks ddr=opengl.

I'm using a win32 prefix. Also tried to re-install with a win32 prefix, just to be sure. Still have the same problem, the pcb design background is gray, and nothing works on the pcb layout, shematics work.

This sounds like you may be using an outdated version of mesa. I had the same problem with Ubuntu 12.04 but I was able to correct it with Ubuntu 14.04. What is your OS?

I am using 14.04, but I will check my mesa version and see if that helps. Thanks for you feedback.

I tried with the xorg-edger ppa, but still no luck.

Winetricks in wine 1.7.34 doesn't understand "setupapi"...

Nor 1.7.38...

Use a more recent winetricks.
