Edit assert in Checks/Asserts assistant

amac

Hello,

is it possible to use the Checks/Asserts assistant to edit a regular assert?

In this old post Andrew seems to have done so but there is no procedure:

  • You can add asserts as "Device Checks" through the Checks/Asserts assistant, and that gives you the ability to edit all the fields of an assert. Note that you can only edit asserts added this way, not those added through an include file. The exclamation mark here is a "Device Check":

    Thank you, this info was somehow not well explained (or not very prominent) in the guides.

    Anyways, a strange effect is that the assert is called MyLibrary\/MyCell\/assertName in the netlist so in case it's needed, for example I used it as info time through @(assert), it has to be called that way instead of simply assertName

    This is done to ensure that checks defined in different cellViews don't clash with each other - otherwise they might have the same name. It's a bit inconvenient if you are referring to them via the @ syntax, but it's a necessary evil, unfortunately!
