[LAU] 'Arrange' not available in Catia?

[Jonathan E. Brickman]

I am finding Canvas/Arrange not available in Catia, have been using
Patchage instead. Anyone know how to get Canvas/Arrange to work in
Catia? I am recompiling both using yaourt in in Manjaro.

There are the following lines (531f.) in 'src/share_canvasjack.py' in
the Catia/Cadence sources:

self.ui.act_canvas_arrange.setEnabled(False) # TODO, later
self.ui.act_canvas_arrange.triggered.connect(self.slot_canvasArrange)

The 'slot_canvasArrange' calls 'patchcanvas.arrange()' from
'patchcanvas.py', which just prints a debugging message.

So, no, this isn't implemented and enabling the menu action wouldn't help.

I generally find patchage more reliable. Catia/Cadence fails to display
clients under certain conditions. On of them is OBS with two Jack
plugins. I haven't looked into it but it may be that it assumes one
process, one jack client. Patchage handles this case.

Thanks, both of you, that helps a lot. I do need Arrange for some of
the more complex patches I have to debug, and I was wondering about
some Catia display behavior yesterday.
