Find the location of a variable location

Art254
My schematic is quite large, I need to find the location of an element that's associated with a variable of interest (could be for a resistor or for a capacitor). From Find there is no option to find a variable location. Thanks.

  •  Hi,

    If you mean "design variable" (as in that set up and perhaps modified by the simulation environment) then there is a "Find" button in ADE for locating the instance(s) which use the selected design variable.  There are ways to search for things like this using SKILL, but I think that we'd be re-inventing the wheel here since it is built-in to the tool.  I hope that this helps, or perhaps I has misunderstood the issue?

    Regards,

    Lawrence.

  • Hi Lawrence, Thanks for the quick reply. I actually could not find "design variable" in "Find", which locates in Edit --> Search. Within "Find...", I have these: insName, netName, pinName, master, libName, cellName, fontStyle, fontHeight, orient, net expression, netSet name, netSet value, partName, phy PartName, power, refDes, technology, simMonitor, other. Please let me know. Thank you. Art

  • You're using the wrong Find. The Find button is on the Variables->Edit form in ADE.

    Andrew.

  • Hi Andrew, Great! That's what I need. Thank you very much.! Art
