geAddNetProbe to current Window

rfontaine

I am trying to add a probe to a specific net within a schematic window. What I'm finding is I get an error message that the net specified doesn't exists at the upper level schematic (I've descended into the hierarchy). I verified the hiGetCurrentWindow is returning the correct window. Is this the correct behavior of this function to only probe nets that exist all the way through the hierarchy?

geAddNetProbe(hiGetCurrentWindow() list("y1" "drawing") net)

    I've tried to summarize what I'm looking to do in the code below. I'm looking for any way to capture  the "hiGetCurrentWindow" value of each cv as I loop through the hierarchy?


    procedure(rfProbeNetWithProp(cv)
     let(()
       foreach(inst cv~>instances  
         if(schCV = dbGetAnyInstSwitchMaster(inst "schematic") then               
          ;scan all signals for attached props  
          foreach(net schCV~>signals
            geAddNetProbe(hiGetCurrentWindow() list("y0" "drawing") strcat(geGetInstHier() "/" net~>name))       
           );end foreach
          ;calls a recursive loop
            rfProbeNetWithProp(schCV)   
          else
           printf("Cound not find schematic view for %L symbol \n" inst~>cellName)      
          );end if     
        );end foreach  
      );end let
    );end proc
