pin term name reorder

psill000

I have a script to reorder the pin bus number but I am getting an error/warning that prevents me from reordering the pins

I can change the pin with the property GUI.

From QA1<22> to QA1<21>
*WARNING* (DB-270501): dbSetTermName: terminal named 'QA1<21>' already exists.
From QA1<30> to QA1<29>
*WARNING* (DB-270501): dbSetTermName: terminal named 'QA1<29>' already exists.
From QA1<3> to QA1<6>
*WARNING* (DB-270501): dbSetTermName: terminal named 'QA1<6>' already exists.
From QA1<11> to QA1<14>
*WARNING* (DB-270501): dbSetTermName: terminal named 'QA1<14>' already exists.
From QA1<19> to QA1<22>
*WARNING* (DB-270501): dbSetTermName: terminal named 'QA1<22>' already exists.
From QA1<27> to QA1<30>
*WARNING* (DB-270501): dbSetTermName: terminal named 'QA1<30>' already exists.

 syntax in the script

printf("From %s to %s\n" orgNet pinStr)
    unless(equal(orgNet pinStr) vPin[i]~>pin~>term~>name = pinStr)

What is trhe correct way to change the pin term name?

    Some things to mention:
    1. With your approach you only rename the term name, the net assigned to the pin will remain with the old name. I would recommend to rename the net name accordingly.
    2. For the term name renaming:
    a. One solution could be to delete all the terms and keep their names in variable and finally recreate them.
    b. Or move term names which have to be renamed to temporary names first until there is no double term name definition any more and then reassign the new names.
    3. There are son db* functions which can help here e.g. dbFindNetByName, dbCreateTerm and dbFindTermByName, etc.
