more pin name and net name checking at check and save

Hi,

How to add in more custom checking during the check and save? For example, we would like to forbid some specific keywords (say, verilog keywords in a list file) for pin names or even wire/net names. By doing that, we can avoid analog designers using some digital keywords which might cause some potential unnecessary issues.   

The whole idea might be like this: at the check and save, a skill would be triggered to load the list and check against it. 

Thanks. 

Andrew

    Hi Enzhu

    You can use schRegPostCheckTrigger function to automatically execute a SKILL procedure after check&save. Please see $CDSHOME/doc/skcompref/skcompref.pdf.


    Best regards

    In addition to the function that Quek mentioned, there's also some newer infrastructure (which has existed since IC615 - so for the last 7 years) to define custom checks which update markers and can be controlled via the check setup form. I give an example in this forum post.

    Regards,

    Andrew
