Deleting Schematic instance and instantiating another device on the same origin

archive
archive over 13 years ago

Dear All,

I am looking to do the following thing using SKILL

1. Open a schematic and look for a specific instance.

2. Delete the instance.

3. Instantiate another cell at the same origin (Both the symbols match in pin locations.)

 

I am not able to identify, how I can get the origin of the original instance before deleting it. Any kind of help is much appreciated.

 

Please help!

 

Thanks,

Vijay

    Hi Vijay,

    If you instantiate devices using SKILL, or update instance parameters using SKILL then callbacks are not triggered, they are only triggered when using the Edit Object Properties form or Add Instance form and interacting with the CDF properties there, so you will most likely need the solution to trigger the CDF callbacks procedurally with SKILL.

    Hope this helps,

    Lawrence.
