Title Block strings

JEFO

Hello everyone

I have some questions regarding title blocks in Cadence Virtuoso. Unfortunately my research has not yielded any results so far.

I am currently making my own Title Block / sheet border with various information such as designer, date and the like.
To do so I refer to "special strings" such as [@Revision], [@Process] and the like. First of all I'd like to know what we call these "special strings"? I have figured how to handle strings such as @ENG, @Description and @Revision by going to edit->Sheet title. 
But how do I change the strings like @Date, @HitKit and @Process?

I would also like to know, where I can find other available "special strings" like @SheetNumber @SheetTotal or @ApprovedBy.
In general I lack the understanding of how Cadence Virtuoso deals with these specifics of engineering and documentation.

I hope my question is clear. If not I would love to elaborate or provide screenshots/other documentation.

Best regards Jacob

  • Hi Jacob,

    Since this one popped up to the top again because of the questions from Paolo below, did you take a look at Chapter 4, Creating a Multisheet Schematic, of the Virtuoso Schematic Editor L User Guide? That has a section on customising the sheet and title blocks - adding the relevant properties so that it knows what the available properties are. There are no general "special strings" - each sheet defines a property called schSheetTitles which defines the properties that the Edit->Sheet Title knows about and then the sheet (or a component instantiated in the sheet) uses special interpreted labels (of Label Type "NLPLabel") with values such as [@Revision] etc (referring to the property Revision).

    Anyway, this is better explained in the section on customising the sheets in the document mentioned above.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
