How to get reference to selected instance pin

azde

If you select an instance in your schematic, you can get a reference to it using geGetSelSet().

I find this doesn't work if the selected object is an instance pin.

My ultimate goal is to create a bindkey to name add a wire label for the wire connected to these pins and make the lable name equal to the pin name. This will save me some drudgery in the future. Too often I'm plotting signals with random names like net0153 because I didn't have the patience to name every net in my testbench.

So if anyone knows a way to get db refernces to these objects, please share.

Thanks!
