Display all schematic netnames .

 Hi All,

I would like to ask, how can I display 

all the net names in the schematic by using SKILL ? 

 

 

 Thanks in advance,

Marbs

    Hi Marbs,

    Display where? If you just want to list them, you can do:

    geGetEditCellView()~>nets~>name

    but I'm not sure if that's what you want as your question wasn't very precise.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.

     I want to display all the schematic netnames

    in the CIW sir, including the netnames in the heirarchy 

    circuit.  Is it possible by using SKILL sir ? how ?

    You didn't mention the hierarchy bit earlier - that's kind of important, as it means the hierarchy needs to be traversed, which considerably increases the complexity.

    You'd need either some recursive function to descend through the hierarchy, displaying the hierarchical names as it does so - I've no idea what format you want them in, and potentially it could get a little complex handling iterated instances, busses and so on. Does it need to handle config views, or a straightforward switch list?

    Or you could write a netlister using OSS (either an HNL or FNL netlister).

    Either way, not something I have laying around (especially when the specifications are still rather imprecise), so I'd rather point you in the right direction and let you do it ;-)

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.

     I am very sorry sir for not mentioning the heirarchy 

    earlier, anyway I will try to use the first SKILL command 

    you have suggested. 

     

    Thank you very much sir, for the help and quick reply . 

     

    Regards, 

    Marbs
