Hello All,

How can I select all pins and pin label in the layout

having no connectivity  by using SKILL  ?.   Because i find it

difficult to select all the pins in my layout that have no connectivity,

if I select it oned by one.  

Any help are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

 Marbs

    Assuming you have two variables, oldCellName and newCellName and a variable cv containing the cellView id, then something like the following would do it:


    ; in case you haven't already got the cellView open
    ; cv=dbOpenCellViewByType(libName newCellName viewName "" "a")
    foreach(shape cv~>shapes
      when(shape~>objType=="label" && shape~>theLabel==oldCellName
        shape~>theLabel=newCellName
      )
    )
    dbSave(cv)

    Again, bit of a wild guess because I don't know what form the label you've got actually is.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
