getting the ID of a cellView object from one of its properties

Michele Ancis over 10 years ago

All

out of my ignorance I was wondering how - if possible - to spot a specific object in a hierarchy from - say - its name.

We have a cellView handle, retrieved for example with a

cv=dbOpenCellViewByType(...)

now,

cv~>instances~>name

would yield something to this effect:

("M1" "C3" "XINV5")

and so on. Of course, I could query the cellName, or other properties.

Now, my question is: is there a possibility to get the object ID of those instances under cv, knowing their name?

I mean something direct, not involving some "foreach" scan.

Hope this makes sense,

Michele

Hi Michele,

Yes, you can use dbFindAnyInstByName(), for example:

instDbId = dbFindAnyInstByName(cv "M01")

That should answer this particular question. I will try to get to your others if I have time...

Regards,

Lawrence.
