cdsterm info sometimes does not show?

Did you renetlist and simulate after making the change?

Andrew

Yes, I did..

I can't imagine what would cause this - I've not seen that behaviour. Could you please report this to customer support so that it can be investigated?

Thanks,

Andrew

Next time it happens.  However, it might not, as I discovered from these forums that an entry into the .cdsenv file will create the cdsterm

automatically.  Wish I had known that ten years ago!

That was interesting. I had the cdsterms added automatically, and they didn't show up on the top level schematic.  I THINK I know why I have had this issue - certainly it was true in this case - I had none of the relevant nodes saved, I had "save selected" , and none of this block's I/O were.

LOL.......it continues.

With the "analog template" , I get the cdsterms automatically which is nice, but I don't get the part name in the symbol any more.

IF I go create>label>    then choose NLPLabel, logical label, it does indeed add [@partName] which used to happen automatically.

However, the part name is not visible when the symbol is instantiated in a schematic!

The analog template uses cdsName() labels instead of NLP [@partName]. The default/digital template does two things:

1. Add a partName property to the symbol
2. Add a [@partName] NLP label to the symbol

Now, you could adapt the analog/artist template using a similar approach to that described in this post: automatically populate [@cellName] instead of [@partName] when generating a symbol from schematic. You'd have to use a symbolProps section similar to that in the default.tsg file and a defLabel section to add the label.

Or you could just manually add a [@cellName] NLP label yourself (rather than [@partName]). That will pick up the attribute of the cell rather than relying on an additional property which has to be set to be the same as the cell name.

Manually modifying  [@partName] to [@cellName] worked perfectly, thanks.

It's still much less work to have to do this than to have to add the  cdsterms manually

Any reason why this could not be made the default for the analog/artist template?  I don't know why anyone would want a symbol without the cell or part name in it?
