rename net via skill?

danmc91

Is there a convenient way in skill to rename a net?  For example:

mynets=setof(x cv~>nets x~>name=="VDD!")

foreach(net mynets

  the_missing_rename_net_function(net "VDD")  ;; is there such a function?

)

Thanks

-Dan

    However, since this is a schematic, the right thing to do is to change the label (or pin) associated with the net and then run schCheck() to re-extract the connectivity). Messing at the database level might work but as soon as you check-and-save again, it would have reverted.

    One complication, the net name is determined by an output pin and I don't seem to find the label that determines the name of the pin. The only thing I do find representing the name of the output is a net, but I can't rename that net.

    I can get the RD<7:0> output pin instance in the following way:

    pin = nth(3 cell->instances)

    How do I go on then to rename it to RD<31:0> ?
