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 Andrew,

     The [@sheetNumber] and [@maxSheets] are on the symbol for the sheet. When I put the sheet around my schematic, lets say an opamp diff pair, I manually enter a sheet number for this schematic. Now when I instance this opamp in another circuit, I want to display the sheet number of the opamp when I place the symbol for it. To do this, I need to edit the symbol of the opamp and add some label there which will access the sheet number that I manually entered. 

    I tried putting [@sheetNumber] but that didn't work. 

     Regards,
    Mandar
