Changing cellName in a code

archive

Hi , I want to change the cellName of an instance "i2_09" to "i3_09" in a code. But im not able to set it using car(geGetSelSet())~>cellName="i3_09" or dbSet as this attribute is not valid for set. So Im using dbCreateInst to create "i3_09". Is there any other way to change the cellName without using "dbCreate*"

  • There are two other commands that you can use:

    dbSetInstHeaderMasterName(d_instHeader t_libName t_cellName t_viewName) - If you have the instance header id (available from the instance and from the cellview - css()~>instHeader ) then you can change every instance of that cellName to use a different cellName. (FYI css() is the same as car(geGetSelSet()) ). This allows you to affect multiple instances at once. The arguments for libName, cellName and viewName can be nil if you don't want to change them.

    dbSetInstHeaderMasterName(css()~>instHeader nil "i3_09" nil)
    OR
    myInstHeader = car(setof(x geGetEditCellView()~>instHeaders x=="i2_09"))
    dbSetInstHeaderMasterName(css()~>instHeader nil "i3_09" nil)

    If you only want to change the cellview for one instance, and you are working in layout, you can also use:
    leReplaceAnyInstMaster(d_instId t_libName t_cellName t_viewName)

    This will update only the given instance id and again, you can use nil for any item you don't want to change.

    leReplaceAnyInstMaster(css() nil "i3_09" nil)
