Layout: Cannot change terminal from scalar to bus

Magistus

Hello everyone,

I have a layout in which a scalar pin exists. Now I want to change this pin to a bus pin. But if I try this, I get the error 

Edit Properties
Cannot change terminal Name 'Vbb_lp6_PA' to 'Vbb_lp6_PA<0>'.
Error creating Terminal.

This problem I have very often. And my colleagues too.

Can anyone tell me, how to solve this problem?

Thank you very much!

  • Dear Sascha,

    I had the same issue as you. I tried the Andrew idea, with no more success than you.

    I was trying to make a deleteAllPinsAndLabels function, because i was stuck with the vector vs scalar error (looping on 6911 pins) => press Escape 6911 time (phone in equilibrium on the key instead of killall -9 virtuoso did the job)

    ;--------------------- DELETE ALL PINS AND TERMINALS
foreach(mapcar pins cv~>terminals~>pins foreach(mapcar pin pins foreach(mapcar LAB LABs=pin~>children  dbDeleteObject(LAB)) dbDeleteObject(pin))) ;<= did some stuf, but does not remove the visible rectangle in the layout
; PLUS delete signals :<= otherwise leCreatePin could fail if pins is named<0> from name : cannot be vector and scalar !
foreach(mapcar s cv~>signals dbDeleteObject(s));<= rename from vector to scalar now possible

term=dbFindTermByName(cv "Vout") ;=> db:....
dbDeleteObject(term);=> (t)
signals=setof(s cv~>signals s~>name=="Vout");=> (db:0x730cfb7f)
foreach(mapcar s signals dbDeleteObject(s));=> (t)
---------------------
    
So i think the answer to your question is :
    foreach(mapcar s cv~>signals dbDeleteObject(s));=> (t)

    Regards,
