Inserting text note in schematic

tyanata

Hi,

 Is there some SKILL procedure to place text note in shematic hierarchicaly in schematics without opening circuits one by one. What I mean: we have skill code difning layout dimesions (width and height) of every cell in the schematic and all this data is written in text file. But now we want the data for every particular cell layout to be written as text note in the corresponding schematic view.

  •  Hi,

    The shape of the text file is:

    cell_x 23.5 189

    amp1 140 135.9

    osc_x 27 56

     ...

     First number is cell layout X second one is cell layout Y dimension.

    Of course this type of cell area determination is applicable only for rectangular cells, so it is not accurate for most of the full custom analog cells, but for approximate chip area estimation is fairly enough. If it is very difficult these notes to be included in the schematics of the cells (without opening of the cells) we need at least these notes to be in included in .ps files after plot file command.

    The final goal of that task is when we convert ps files to pdf in the page of schematics of each cell to be printed the note with its layout dimensions.
