Finding Instance in Schematic with reference to cellName

Hi,

I want to find an instance in schematic with reference to cellName given and not the instance name. Is there any command which can fetch me the instance properties if the view and instance cellName are given.

Regards

Neeraj

     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.
