SKill procedure to select and/or delete text notes from schematic

jasons

 I want to write a skill procedure to run on a schematic to delete all "text note" (or is it note text?) that matches a pattern--without having a bunch of menus popping open.  The pattern part isn't the problem, it's trying to select/delete the notes (these are not attached to any devices, they just float in the schematic).  Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Hi Jason

    How about something like this?

    procedure( CCSdeleteNoteText(pattern)
       let( (cv allNoteText count)
          cv=geGetWindowCellView()
          allNoteText=setof(x cv~>shapes (x~>objType=="label" && !x~>parent))
          count=0
          foreach( text allNoteText
             when( rexMatchp(pattern text~>theLabel) dbDeleteObject(text))
             count++
          ) ;foreach
          printf("Total of %n note text deleted\n" count)
       ) ;let
    ) ;procedure

    Best regards

  • That's just what I was looking for!  Thank you very much.  For future reference is there a manual where I can learn about the CellView object?

  • Hi Jason

    You can refer to "Attribute Retrieval and Modification" section in the manual "Virtuoso Design Environment SKILL Reference". It is located at $CDSHOME/doc/skdref/skdref.pdf.
