Hierarchy function for the instantiated symbol

skillseeker
skillseeker over 14 years ago

Hello,

I am parsing a schematic to find the information of the instantiated symbols for the design. I would like to know if there is a function in skill that will let me know if any symbol instantiated in the schematic has hierachy.(like a schematic view underneath the symbol and soon). Is there a straightforward method to do implement this functionality.

 

Thanks in advance

    Thanks Bracknell. I really am not interested in descending into the hierarchical instance but rather build a hierarchy tree from my top-level instance. I was wondering if skill offered any function to dump out all the instances which have schematic views and their children have schematics and so on.. I got around this problem by implementing a looping structure on each instantiated symbol from my top view.
