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.

    The following script should be able to do what you want. Save it as "addnotes.il" in the working directory and load it in ciw. Then execute it using:

    CCSaddSchNotes("myLib" "myInputFile")

    where "myLib" is the name of the schematic library and "myInputFile" is the file containing the cellnames and X/Y dimensions.

    Best regards

    procedure( CCSaddSchNotes(myLib myFile)
       let( (inPort inLine inLineList myCell xDimen yDimen cv
        myNote xCoord yCoord)
          inPort=infile(myFile)
          while( gets(inLine inPort)
             inLineList=parseString(inLine)
             myCell=nth(0 inLineList)
             xDimen=nth(1 inLineList)
             yDimen=nth(2 inLineList)
             cv=dbOpenCellViewByType(myLib myCell "schematic" "" "a")
             myNote=strcat("Layout estimation: X=" xDimen " Y=" yDimen)
             xCoord=leftEdge(cv~>bBox)
             yCoord=bottomEdge(cv~>bBox)-0.2
             schCreateNoteLabel(cv xCoord:yCoord
            myNote "lowerLeft" "R0" "roman" 0.0625 "normalLabel")
             dbSave(cv)
             dbClose(cv)
          ) ;while
          close(inPort)
          inPort=nil
       ) ;let
    ) ;procedure

    addnotes.il
