how to change explicit pins to inherited connections pins

Hi

I used to write the below code to change explicit pins to  inherited connection pins.

explicit pin name is VDD,bidir pin.

i am changing it to vdd!

i used to get the below warning :

Warning: Pin "VDD": floating input/output.

 Pls let me know what was the problem :

 If i manually add inherit instance in schematic window ,it does'nt show warning.

This warning is caused when i do schCheck(cv).

 Pls help me out to resolve this issue.

pls see the below code i ahd written :

CODE i had written :

 cv=dbOpenCellViewByType("CMOS045_IO_DEVKIT_OD25_7M4X0Y2Z" "TEST" "schematic" nil "a")

name1="VDD"

netdb=car(setof(x cv~>instances (x~>pin~>term~>name == name1 )))

x_cord = car(netdb~>xy)
y_cord = cadr(netdb~>xy)

dbDeleteObject(netdb)

symbolId = dbOpenCellViewByType( "basic" "vdd_inherit" "symbol" nil "r")
instId = schCreateInst( cv symbolId "I23" x_cord:y_cord "R0" )

schCheck(cv)

Warning: Pin "VDD floating input/output

Pls let me know from where i am getting this error.

 

Thanks and regards

    Goodness me! You are rather demanding! This is a community forum where the community responds when they have a chance amongst their busy schedules. I personally am on vacation today, and so can't actually check things out. Others may be able to fit you in though...

    Posting a question and then chasing for a response after 1 hour is a bit excessive.

    Perhaps if it is this urgent you should be logging a service request via sourcelink.cadence.com ?

    Regards,

     Hi Subbhareddy,

     I would guess that when you delete the physical pin, you are not deleting the logical terminal and net.  Please see my post on your other question to see if my notes on removing these objects will help you with this question also.

    regards,

    Lawrence.

    cv=dbOpenCellViewByType("CMOS045_IO_DEVKIT_OD25_7M4X0Y2Z" "TEST" "schematic" nil "a")

     name1="VDD"

    a=dbFindNetByName(cv name1)

    You might need to delete the terminal first, and then the net?

    Why don't you try a few things and then post the results, with any messages, if you need further help?

    dbDeleteObject(a) ??

    regards,

    Lawrence.
