How to sort pins/labels in VLS?

Hi,

I use VXL to generate the devices and pins. The pins usually come with labels on it, but the VXL sometimes place the pins randomly even if they are a bus. For example, if i've a pin Ctrl<30:0>, its pretty difficult to sort them out if they are randomly placed. Is there a skill i can use to sort the pins out along with their corresponding pinLabels?

Use Place->Pin Placement to place the pins. This gives you lots of control - no need to use SKILL. In IC617 you also have the new pin group guides mechanism (see the documentation) which gives you even more control.

I do not have an IC617 version, i use IC616 & IC12.2, and i do not see the option that you have mentioned. I usually use VXL to dump out all the pins and instances. Where can i find the option that you have mentioned? Can you provide me with the functions so that i can try in IC616/IC12.2?

This has been in VLS XL for years, so should be available. It's in the Place menu in VLS XL.
