Changing instance properties though SKILL

soathana

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

  • I explained that in my previous reply. It gets the default value from the CDF (typically the cell CDF, as you'd see in the CIW Tools-CDF-Edit form for whatever cell this is an instance of; I say "typically" because it could be the lib CDF, although that isn't usually used for parameters because you normally don't want to have parameters which exist for every cell in a library)
