Rename a schematic labeled net by SKILL

Aldo2

Hello,

I would like to rename a set of LABELED nets in a schematic using SKILL. The following script is my starting point.

procedure(renameNet(oldNet newNet)
  prog((cv net)
    cv=geGetEditCellView()
    net=dbFindNetByName(cv oldNet)
    net~>figs~>theLabel=newNet
    ;dbRenameNet(net newNet)
    schCheck(cv)
  )
)

I have some doubts to be clarified.

Is it sufficient to modify the label name or have I to use both "net~>figs~>theLabel=newNet" and dbRenameNet (e.g. because there are other properties I need to change)?

Does exist a straight command to modify names of both net and label?

dbRenameName only (without "net~>figs~>theLabel=newNet") doesn't work on a labeled net, is it correct?

If "net" having labeled "net01" is composed by n pieces of wires, then "net~>figs~>theLabel" is the following n+1 element list: ("net01" "net01" ... "net01"), correct?

Thank you very much

Best regards

Aldo

  • Aldo,

    I would always do this by changing the label and then calling schCheck - which will reconstruct the nets that have changed name rather than trying to do dbRenameNet myself. There's really no need to do that - and actually it can be quite tricky in some cases (certainly if you only want to rename some of the labels and not all of them, say). 

    Changing just the net name (with dbRenameNet) would be short-lived (you'd have to also call dbSetConnCurrent(cv)) - because the labels wouldn't change, and as soon as the schematic was "checked" again (e.g. with schCheck), then the net names would rename back again.

    Using net~>figs~>theLabel=newNet is probably not the best approach because it will end up adding a user defined property on each wire segment. net~>figs is a list of the shapes associated with the net, which is one per wire segment, plus the labels. So you probably should just do:

    setof(fig net~>figs fig~>objType=="label")~>theLabel=newNet

    That will only set theLabel on the objects which are actually labels.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
