Forcing an update of the netlist

ChrisEAS

Hi there.

I'm modifying my spectre netlist by setting a custom netlist formatter with the Skill function:

(asiSetNetlistFormatterClass tool 'myFormatter)

When I try to re-netlist afterwards using

(asiNetlist (asiGetCurrentSession))

the response is

The netlist is up to date.

Could you please gimme a hint how to force the netlister to rerun?

Thanks,

Chris

    Chris,

    If you were using the OCEAN API instead, you could use createNetlist(?recreateAll t ?display nil)

    Similarly the "sev" API can be used:

    sevNetlistFile(sevSession(hiGetCurrentWindow()) 'recreate)

    but this displays the netlist afterwards.

    The "asi" APIs do this are private, I'm afraid. I'm not sure I can see a massively good reason for it being private though, so I would suggest contacting customer support over this and we can look into reconsidering that (if the AE you speak to needs more information, ask them to contact me).

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
