How to copy iopin in schematic view

San

Hi ,

I have a schematic view in which I just have one InputOutput pin celled "gate" 

I just want to make a copy of that pin and place it little farther.

I  used following code but it did not copy it properly.

schId = geGetEditCellView()

geSelectAll()

foreach(fig selectedSet()

  dbCopyFig(fig schId list(0:4 "R0" 1))

)

I will appreciate your help on this.

Thanks

Sanket

  • Two problems - first there's a textDisplay you don't really want to copy, and secondly, dbCopyFig will just copy the pin instance, and not make the new object a pin. Simplest solution is:

    schId = geGetEditCellView()
    geSelectAll()
    foreach(fig selectedSet()
      unless(fig~>objType=="textDisplay"
        schCopy(fig schId list(0:4 "R0" 1))
      )
    )

    Hope that helps. The schCopy is a bit of a higher level function, so understands that it's a pin. Avoided reinventing the wheel yourself...

    Regards,

  • This is exactly what I was looking for. It worked like charm.
    Thanks a lot Andrew.
