How to change viewName of the pin in schematic view by Skill?

Slayer

 Hi all!

Is it possible to change view name of the instance by the skill code? The question is, that I have in schematic view "iopin" instances with viewName "symbolr" and I need to change it on "symbol", I try to do it from instHeader:

[CODE]

    inst = setof(i pcCV->instances i->cellName == "iopin" && i->viewName == "symbolr");
  
   foreach(i inst
      dbSetInstHeaderMasterName(i~>instHeader i~>instHeader~>libName i~>instHeader~>cellName "symbol") ;
    );end foreach

[/CODE]

But in result I have WARNING message:

 *WARNING* can't set two instHeaders to the same master

 

Any ideas?

  • Which version are you using? It's a bit odd iterating over the instances and then setting the instHeader on each instance - the instHeader is common to all instances of the same type - so setting it once will set all instances in one shot. So you'd iterate over cvId~>instHeaders and then change them once.

    If you want to set each instance separately, you'd set the master attribute on the instance - and the instHeaders will take care of themselves.

    So setting the instHeader master is a very quick way to change all instances of a lib/cell/view to a different lib/cell/view in one go.

    That said, I tried doing what you were doing in IC615, and couldn't reproduce the problem (but as I said, it's a bit of an odd way of doing things anyway).
