Changing instance properties though SKILL

soathana
soathana over 13 years ago

Hi everyone I am using SKILL to generate a schematic.

So I am using schReplaceProperty function, but i have some problems. How can I get the names used for the instance parameters? The way i do it is call:

inst=dbCreateInst(...)

inst=list(inst)

schReplaceProperty(inst "name" "value") 

So for  width appearing (in Property editor and edit object properties) "Total Width" this is not the case. Apparently When I insert for name  "Total Width" i get a user property named Total, apparently it does not like space :) 

ideas? 

thanks,

Sotiris

    Hi Derek, 

    When I try inst~>? , I won't see "totalWidth" in the output. But why when we type "inst~>totalWidth", there are output value? 

    Hope you may help. 

    Thanks
