 hi all,

Now i trying to write a code that probes net in schematic when complited routing of that net connection in layout XL. By doing this i know what connections i did by simple viewing schematic.I don't know how to Start it. I feel first search the net in schematic what i complited recently in layout XL. But i dont know how to seach that net in schematic. Give me suggitions & your thoughts about this.

Thank you,

    Hi Venu

    Instead of writing a script to check for completed nets, would it be better if you use "Annotation Browser" to view the incomplete nets instead? This would be easier than spending time to write the script. : )  If you would really like to write the script, perhaps you can try this:

    a. Use lceGetIncompleteNets to get a list of incompete layout nets
    b. Get all nets by querying the cellview (~>)
    c. Find nets that are not in the list of incomplete nets
    d. Probe those nets in the schematic obtained using lxGetLXInfo

    Best regards
    Quek

    There is no equivalent function (at least not a public one) in IC5141. Quek's suggestion (including the annotation browser) are for IC61; this is precisely the reason why the forum guidelines suggest that stating the version you're using is important - often the advice will be different for different versions (particularly when there have been major enhancements between IC5141 and IC61X, and even within IC61 releases).

    However, can't you do this by using the standard functionality, rather than implementing your own? If you use  Connectivity->Show Incomplete Nets, you can see the nets that are incomplete.

    Then you can use Connectivity->XL Probe to click on the net names and see where they are on the schematic. Similarly when you start wiring a net on the layout, it automatically cross-probes it in the schematic.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
