Changing CDF property display value via SKILL

rajivsub

I have a schematic with many instances of some primitive devices. One of the devices - a transistor, has a particular CDF parameter (say Drain resistance) whose Display field is set to "off" (in the Edit Object Properties Form, when I do a 'q' on the instance).

I want to be able to change the value to 'both'. (out of the options of 'off', 'value', 'name' and 'both').

I tried something like

foreach( inst cv~>instances

  required_prop = car(setof(prop_element inst~>prop equal(prop_element~>name "drain_resistance")))

  ; but then I am not able to see any field for the display of the required_prop

)

Any ideas on how this can be done? Since I need to do it on many instances and on many cells in a library, do not want to end up doing it manually via the GUI.

Thanks much

    I have some related questions.

    Sometimes when I turn on the display settings from the Edit Object Properties dialog, the displayed information shows up relatively far away from the component.  Why?  What controls this?

    Other times, when I turn on the display of multiple settings,  the displayed information is overlapping and impossible to read unless I move them to be separated.  Is there a way to prevent this overlap from occurring?

    Thanks.
