Display of schematic name and page number on the symbol

mk123

 Hi,

 I ported a design from 6.1 to 5.1.41. The symbols in 6.1 have the following statements which are supposed to display schematic name and page number when the symbol is instantiated. 

dsp('sheetIndex)

dsp('page)

 In the ported design, after instantiation, I get  the following,

*Error* eval: undefined funtion

 Do I need to load a specific file for this function to work? Is this only for 6.1 specific?

 Thanks,

Mandar

    Hi Mandar,

    [@sheetNumber] gives the sheet number. And [@maxSheets] gives the number of sheets. Look at the Title symbol in the US_8ths sample library. The sheets in US_8ths have an instance of Title (and an instance of revBlock) in them, and that takes care of those NLP labels.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
