Create label from net name

gparasiliti

 Hi,

I'm using VXL and I would to create a label from a shape net property, then I would attach it to the related net. Is there a way to do that?

 

Regards,

Giuseppe

    Here is something basic for you to start with. This one works on the car(selectedSet()) but you can adjust it to work on all selected items, or write some code using enterPoint or enterLine type commands to selecting the shapes to label.

    procedure(myLabelSelectedShapeByNetName()
      let((shp netName lbl )
        shp = car(selectedSet())
        when(netName = shp~>net~>name
            lbl = dbCreateLabel(
                shp~>cellView
                "text"
                car(shp~>points)||shp~>beginPt||car(shp~>bBox)
                netName
                "centerCenter"
                "R0"
                "roman"
                shp~>width||1.0
            )
            lbl~>parent=shp
        )
      ) ;let
    ) ;proc
