How to display Object Properties on schematics?

I would assume that such a user property would originate from its symbol. So, I will go and open the symbol of this instance and check in Edit->properties->Cellview

I will turn on the value option for this particular property in question and check and save my symbol. Now, it should be visible for all instances.

rairaj,

Thanks for responding.

I cannot edit the symbol since it is a cell from the stdcell library. So, that option seems tough.

If I change the 'Display->off' option to 'Display->value' option in Edit Object Properties menu of that instance, then I do see the value getting displayed on the schematic. So, I was thinking that there is a way I can make this possible at the schematic level without editing at the symbol level.

However, I do not know how to save the preference. I also do not know how can I make it the default Display option for all instances which have a certain value to this property.

Thanks again.

Load this code:

procedure(CCSPropDisplay(cellname propName)
let( (cv prop)
cv = geGetWindowCellView()
foreach(inst cv~>instances
if(inst~>cellName == cellname
then
if(prop=dbFindProp(inst propName)
then
;;check for existence of assocTextDisplay
unless(prop~>assocTextDisplays
dbCreateTextDisplay(prop inst list("device" "annotate")
list("justify" "orient")
list(xCoord(lowerLeft(inst~>bBox)) yCoord(upperRight(inst~>bBox)))
"centerCenter" "R0" "stick" 0.0625)
printf("\nCreated textDisplay Object")
)
prop~>assocTextDisplays~>isVisible =t
)
) ;if
; dbSave(cv)
) ;foreach
) ;let
) ;proc


Open your cellview. Call:

CCSpropDisplay("mycell" "myprop")

Replace "mycell" with actual cell whose props you are looking at and myprop is the property name.
