Finding Instance in Schematic with reference to cellName

Neeraj,

What would than mean? What if there are multiple instances of the same cellName?

You could of course do:

instances=setof(inst cv~>instances inst~>cellName=desiredCellName)
instances~>w ; show all the width properties
propNameList=foreach(mapcar inst instances
  foreach(mapcar prop inst~>prop
    list(prop~>name prop~>value)
  )
)

But it's really not clear what you want.

Andrew.

 I'm sorry, but what you're saying makes absolutely no sense. If your variable instance is an instance ID, then the ~>name attribute would be the instance name not the cell name. And I don't see what inst~>instTerms~>name has to do with it - these are the names of the terminals on the instance.

So nothing you've said makes any sense to me - it is really not clear what you're trying to do.

Which version are you using? The binding in Virtuoso Layout Suite XL IC61X doesn't have to be by name, so the instance names may not match anyway. If you're trying to check the properties, why not use the Check against Source command?

Andrew.

 And the version you're using is...?

There's no public API to find the corresponding instance between layout and schematic - if you want this, you should contact customer support. Most of the time the names will match - you could use nmpCDBAFlatToCDBA() to convert the "|" type name to a "/" hierarchical name. Whether that helps is another matter...

To only find non-pin instances, you'd do:

setof(inst cv~>instances !inst~>pin)

To filter out sheets as well, you'd do:

setof(inst cv~>instances !inst~>pin && inst~>master~>schType!="border")

HI Andrew, i have a question but its not with respect to this post.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

I have to copy pin names from one level below and paste it on to one level up. And i am using dbcopyfig(pinid cvid dbtransformInst()). But i have few pins which have different name on top. So is there any way, while coping the fig only i can transform its name and paste it at the transformed location.

Regards,

Neeraj 

IF  IT IS NOT RELATED TO THIS POST, WHY ARE YOU POSTING IT IN THE SAME THREAD?

As you can hopefuly tell, you're starting to annoy me. I already told you not to do this and to read the forum guidelines

Oh, and by the way you should read the forum guidelines again because your question is poorly formed. dbCopyFig when copying a pin figure does not copy the pin information - just the figure - so your question makes no sense. See /forums/p/25763/1322133.aspx#1322133

If you keep breaking the forum guidelines, people (including me) will focus on those who do follow the guidelines. Remember that we are all volunteers here, and so answering a question that is asked clearly, with sufficient information, is much more efficient use of the limited time of your community colleagues.

I don't like being so blunt as this, but I only have finite time to spend on this forum, and I'd sooner spend it wisely.

Andrew
