Hi All,

In my schematic, test<0:10> pin is there. I need which instances(instance id's) connected to test<3> net.

     Hi Navendra,

     

    You could try something like this:

     

    targetPinName = "test<3>"

    cvId = geGetEditCellView()
    list_instId = list()

    foreach( instId cvId~>instances
      if( instId~>objType=="inst" && instId~>purpose=="cell" then
        connectionFound = 0
        foreach( connId instId~>conns
          if( connId~>net~>name==targetPinName then
            connectionFound = 1
          )
        )
        if( connectionFound==1 then list_instId=append(list_instId list(instId)) )
      )
    )
