Hello everyone, I am contracting problems, in CADENCE for some modification I do not know bug the same. I am it locks or closes alone, when I return the functions are disabled, the worst I have to do all over again, nor can I simulate again, see the images for better understanding.

1-the arrow A shows in the image, shows that this disability, do nothing, example takes new component.

2-the arrow B shown in the image, I can section them, but they do not work in the circuit.

Two things to check are:

1) read-only / write-lock or access conflict, some
features "disappear" when not writable

2) license downgrade, for example if idle for a
while maybe your "XL" license got auto-checked-in
and when you come back you get the "L" leftover
 

You need to watch some really basic tutorials on how to use the tool.

Thanks to everyone, a friend explained how to resolve and the reason for the error.

Solution: In the library where the folder you are working in (saving the files) must delete all files by calling cdslck.

One of the reasons for the failures: When CANDECE closes in an inspired fashion or executes the shutdown in the wrong way regardless of whether you are running on remote access or on the spot, the cdslck file will appear, according to him, which says that it is a protection measure not to lose the projects.

See the image to facilitate what was said. There are two ways to do this: 1st folder per part to delete cdslck or 2nd go to the search engine and delete all cdslck at once.

Note: You must exclude all files by calling cdslck (with their derivations).

Yeah, this is how Cadence write-locks files.
The lock file is laid down when you open a
cellview, removed only if checked in (auto-
or explicit). A "disorderly" shutdown / crash
will fail to remove them.

I ended up making a little shell script called
stripLocks that was just

#!/bin/csh
rm -f */cdslck
rm -f */*/cdslck
rm -f */*/*/cdslck
rm -f */*/*/*/cdslck
rm -f */*/*/*/*/cdslck
rm -f */*/*/*/*/*/cdslck

(however deep your hierarchy is, from the project
home; if your libraries are scattered you may have
to go wider too)
