Displaying view to be used on a symbol

archive

Hello, If you have a symbol that refers to one of several views (e.g. schematic, veriloga, extracted) either by view list or from the hierarchy editor - is it possible to add a label that will always display the view that will be used on the symbol? It seems that it should be something similar to Hierarchy editor/Show views found but I would like it always on. Many thanks, Alan.

  • Thanks, I had read that thread before I posted but it didn't quite seem to solve my query.  Those labels seem to refer to the current level of the hierarchy; I am attempting to display the view name one level below the current (symbol) view.

    Regards,

    Alan.

  • The following code should do what you want:

    /* abWhichView.il

    Function which can be used as a label on a symbol, to say
    which view is being used in a config.

    Create an ILLabel, with value "abWhichView()"
