setting user property in symbol view

rajivsub

I am trying to set a user property on one of the pins of a symbol. The property is 'nlAction' and has a string value of "ignore". 

I can set it by clicking on the properties of the pin and adding the user property. (in GUI mode)

Any suggestions if there is a skill function that will allow me to add a user property on a schematic symbol object?

I tried using dbSetq but it does not show up on the property form. Also, for a pin with the property added via the form, dbSetq returned nil - so not sure where the user property is getting added to. Could not get it to show up with obj~>?? either. 

 Thanks

  • Rajiv,

    To answer your specific question, when you add a user defined property on a pin in the symbol editor, the property actually gets added onto the terminal object.

    So you could do the same using:

      dbFindTermByName(cvId "pinName")~>nlAction="ignore"

    Regards,

    Andrew.
