How to get instance name in symbol

Sarvani
Hi all,
If my schematic have AND,OR,NOT, AND,AND with I0, I1, I2,I3,I4 as instance names then I need to convert
I0 - AND0,
I1 -> OR1,
I2 -> NOT1,
I3 - AND2,
I4 - AND3,
Please let me know How can I get this? I need to convert this for all schematics. In my schematic I found "[@info1]" for getting instance labels.
 
Thank you,
venu

    Venu,
    Your numbering seems a little inconsistent. I'm assuming your mean AND1, not AND0. Regardless, you can  start your indexing from 0 or 1 or whatever you choose. I would do something like the following (this is untested off the top of my head):

    indexTbl = makeTable("indexes" 1)
    foreach(inst geGetEditCellView()~>instances
        when(member(inst~>cellName list("AND" "OR" "NOT")
            inst~>name = sprintf(nil "%s%d" inst~>cellName indexTbl[inst~>cellName]
            indexTbl[inst~>cellName] = indexTbl[inst~>cellName]+1
        )
    )

    But I don't want to edit in schematic. I want to put some label in symbol Which generates like that. For example when I instantiate AND symbol in schematic then it comes with AND1(instance Name not cell name) instead of "I0". If I instantiate another AND then it will automatically comes with AND2(instance name)
     
    Thank you,

    Add a cellView property on the symbol called "instNamePrefix" and set it to "AND". Search in cdnshelp for "instNamePrefix" to find more details.

    Your original post only spoke of "converting". It is important to be very clear in your posts. Andrew's solution should do what you need.

     Sorry Dmay. Previously I didn't know about symbols Editing tool. Thats why I got confussion in first post. And Thank you Andrew. I have set  instNamePrefix in symbol. It's working good. Thank you very much.
