Find Instances That Used a Design Variable

archive

Hello,
I've been trying get a list of instances that used a design variable in a design via a SKILL script. It is like the "Variable -> Find" command in an Analog Artist, but it search for only one instance. If possible I would like to get a list of instances.

I know how to get a list of design variables used in a design,
asiGetDesignVarList( session )

Is there a direct command or a script to get a list of instances that used a design variable in a design?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Gilbert

  • Gilbert,

    I was just looking up how I'd done this in some code I wrote last year to do this - but it turns out there was no direct function, and I was using some private SKILL function to do it. Please contact Cadence Customer Support, to ask for an enhancement for a public function to retrieve this information.

    Otherwise, you'd have to visit all the instances in the design, looking at the CDF properties on each instance, and then using the ael.* functions to parse any expressions to pull out any variables found.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
