Deleting Schematic instance and instantiating another device on the same origin

archive

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 Lawrence,

     

    I tried using the callback function, but it was too slow. Since I know what parameters to change I thought I will write a custom script, but I am getting stuck with some errors in saving the file. Would you please help to resolve that issue?

     

       if(cv=geOpen(?lib libName ?cell cell~>name ?view view~>name ?mode "a") then
           wId =hiGetCurrentWindow()
           thisCell=geGetWindowCellView()
           foreach(inst thisCell~>instances
               ;---Process relevant instances
            ;
            if(member(inst~>cellName InstList) then         
           ;---Change param
           ;
           printf("\nTrigger %s" inst~>cellName)
           geSelectFig(inst)
                 schHiObjectProperty()
                 sprintf(str "ParamOrg = schObjPropForm->%s->value" SelParam)
           j=evalstring(str)
                 ;
           sprintf(str "schObjPropForm->%s->value = TempVal" SelParam)
           j=evalstring(str)            
           hiFormDone(schObjPropForm)
           ;
           schHiObjectProperty()
                 sprintf(str "schObjPropForm->%s->value = ParamOrg" SelParam)
           j=evalstring(str)                
           hiFormDone(schObjPropForm)
          );if member
         );foreach inst
         schCheck( thisCell )
               geSave( thisCell )
         hiCloseWindow(wId)
       );if cv

     

    Thanks,
