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)

    There is geGetCellViewWindow() and geGetTopCellViewWindow(), but I'm not sure they're going to help you that much except for the top level.

    It would probably be simpler for you to pass in the window Id that you wish to do the probe in to this function. Then when you recursively call your function, pass it down too - it's going to be the same for all levels of hierarchy.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
