How to add prefix to all instances

Hi All,I need a SKILL code for adding prefix or suffix to a top-cell and to all its instances.For eg: I have a Top cell ( INV)  and it has subcells called as a instances. INV hierarchy :  INV-> INV_PMOS-> INV_NMOS So, I want to add some prefix/suffix for all the cells in the hierarchy. Ex: myprefix_INV->myprefix_INV_PMOS-> myprefix_INV_NMOS Thanks,Maven.

     Hi maven

    The following COS solutions work on cells listed in the library manager. It is not exactly what you have requested but I think it can also solve your problem. You can first do a hierarchical copy of your top cell to a new library before applying the skillscript.

    11026492 : How can I rename all cells in a library with a specific prefix?
    11166194 : Add prefix/suffix to only some cells

    Hope that this helps you. : )

    Best regards
    Quek

    Hi Quek, the link you shared here is not working here anymore. Is it possible for you to paste the code here? I know it is 9 years old post, but, your solution seems more relevant to the problem I have right now.
