layout instances name connected in a selected net.

Hello All,

How to display all the layout instances name in CIW that is connected

in the selected net in layout  ?  

 For example, if I select a net25 in the layout, in CIW, output will be,

net25 is connected in Q1-c , Q2b, Q3e .

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Marbs

    Assuming you have a shape on the net selected, and the layout has connectivity information (eg was done with Virtuoso Layout XL), then:

    foreach(fig geGetSelSet()
    net=fig~>net
    when(net
    printf("net %s is connected to\n" net~>name)
    foreach(instTerm net~>instTerms
    printf("%s.%s " instTerm~>inst~>name instTerm~>name)
    )
    printf("\n")
    )
    )

    Something like that. I didn't test it fully because I typed it on a mobile device.

    Hi Andrew!

    Is there any way to obtain the devices connected on a net from the schematic view?

    Please read the Forum Guidelines. You've asked a question in a 9 year old thread which is about layout instances, and you're asking about instances on a schematic. So that's at least two of the forum guidelines broken. I suggest you start a new post.
