schCreateSymbolLabel command not working.

Sarvani

 hi all,

         I am trying to assign symbolLabel for every symbol in library by code. But  schCreateSymbolLabel is not working. How can I do it?

 procedure(loopCells(libName @optional (viewList list("symbol")))
  let((libId cvId v points points1)
    libId = ddGetObj(libName)
    foreach(cell libId~>cells
        foreach(viewName cell~>views~>name
            when(member(viewName viewList)
                when(cvId = dbOpenCellViewByType(libId cell~>name viewName nil "a")


v=cvId~>bBox
points=list((car(upperRight(v))+car(lowerLeft(v)))/2 cadr(upperRight(v)))
points1=list((car(upperRight(v))+car(lowerLeft(v)))/2 cadr(upperRight(v))-0.5)
schCreateSymbolLabel(cvId points "analog instance label" "cdsName()" "lowerCenter" "R0" "roman" 0.5 "NLPLabel")
schCreateSymbolLabel(cvId points1 "instance label" "[@instanceName]" "lowerCenter" "R0" "roman" 0.5 "NLPLabel")

schCheck(cvId)
dbSave(cvId)
dbClose(cvId)
))))

    Are you getting any error messages?

    Here are some handy shortcuts:

    centerX = car(centerBox(v))
    topY = topEdge(v) ;also bottomEdge, leftEdge, rightEdge

    I agree with Derek - seeing the error message would have helped...

    I ran your code, and I get:

     *Error* (SCH-1003): The current command requires a schematic cellview. As the current cellview is of a type other than schematic, this action cannot complete.

    If I use the debugger, I can see that this is coming from schCheck(). That's hardly surprising, since schCheck() is to check a schematic not a symbol.

    You don't really need to check the symbol - all the "check and save" does on a symbol is to run the cross-view check - so if you really wanted to do that, you could use schVIC(cvId) instead of schCheck(cvId) (that will produce warnings in the CIW telling you about any terminal mismatches, for example). And you could use the return value of schVIC to determine whether you should save or not. However, since all you're doing here is adding labels, you might decide that you don't need to check any terminal mismatches, because presumably that's been done already.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
