archive
archive over 17 years ago

hi All,

i would like to add automatically the cellname of the cell. I would like it to be placed in the border of the sheet.
I can modifiy the borders in US_8ths. Is there any label I could add to include the cellname?
and maybe further the library name?

Is there also another way to do it? Skill?

Thks in advance,

Axel

    Search in /comphelp/comphelp.pdf for NLPLabel and you'll see various info on NLPLabel and ILLabel. Essentially NLPLabels can look up property or attribute values, whereas ILLabels are an arbitrary SKILL expression to do whatever you want.

    You can define your own sheet library by setting the schSheetMasters variable. Take a look in /tools/dfII/samples/local/schConfig.il for an example definition - this shows the default value - which you can then override in your .cdsinit or by typing in the CIW.

    You'll find that sheet masters only have the "instance" or "selection" box defined over the title region - so that it only gets selected if you select in the corner containing the title box. If you limit the size of the selection box, you can only select it if you click in that area.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
