It’s been quite a while since I wrote about “Things I Learned by Browsing Cadence Online Support”. That absolutely does not mean that I haven’t learned anything recently by browsing Cadence Online Support. It just means I haven’t had time to write about it!
So now it’s time to expand and re-purpose the “Virtuosity” brand. From now on, the blogs under that heading will include highlights of new features, in-depth explanations, tips, tricks and anything else we find to be useful and worth sharing. Contributors to the series will be from our Product Engineering, Technical Publications and R&D organizations.
Of course, you will want to continue browsing Cadence Online Support to keep up with all the latest content. And the most recent enhancements to the site make that easier than ever.
More Powerful Search Engine
The search engine is now powered by Google Search Appliance, so it’s quicker and more likely to return useful results. On the results page, the column on the left provides the ability to filter based on products, versions and document types. You can also search the Cadence Community sites for blogs and forum posts matching your search.
Rapid Adoption Kits
Rapid Adoption Kits (RAKs) are easier to access. You can find them under either the Resources or SelfLearning pulldowns on the Cadence Support page. Click on the RAK you want to see. The document opens in the viewer and the database attachment is linked at the bottom of the same screen. (This is easy to miss if you don’t know where to look for it.)
What's New Library
To keep up with new features, options and changes in each ISR, use the Self Learning pulldown to access the What’s New Library, where you will find overview presentations and highlight videos for each ISR release, as well as links to the What’s New documents for each product and even a video tutorial for the Cadence Online Support website.

Feedback
Don’t forget the Feedback tab on the right side of the screen. We do read and act on all feedback submitted. If you find an error, or are confused by something, please let us know. If you found something especially valuable, let us know that too. It helps us know how best to plan future content.
We also welcome your comments on any topics you’d like to see explored in more depth for future articles.
