How to obtain full path of an instance interms of instance names?

Hello! Everyone,

                       My toplevel schematic containing 5 TGs(Transmission Gates) and with instance name T0 --> T4.

                       And 5 transistors with instance name P0, P1, P2 & N0, N1.

                       Also each TG having 2 transistors with instance name TP0, TN0.

Now I would like to print path to TP0 which is in T0 as T0/TP0, for TN0 it has to print T0/TN0...

similarly, the  path to TP0 which is in T1 as T1/TP0, for TN0 it has to print T1/TN0...

I hope You understood my problem and please, guide me in this way.... 

Thanks in Advance

    Hi Prabhakar,

    I believe that SourceLink solution 11169362 does what you want, can you take a look at it?

    Have you tried the functionality from the Layout side of things (I think it is called leHiTree()) ?  It should work on a schematic too, though I am not sure if the hierarchy printing is quite what you are asking for.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
