How to convert a signal from single bit to multibit

Kraj

I want to create symbol from pinList , and my pin bus size is variable not fixed , so in PinList port field I am trying to pass variable but its not accepting variable . Like in following code name strBL is variable but i am getting error name field should be string  

pinList = `(nil ports (
(nil name strBL direction "inputOutput"
isOverbar "off" pins
((nil name "P__4" accessDir nil
fig
(nil bBox
((0.9125 0.725)
(0.9625 0.775)
)
)
)
) prop
(nil sigType "signal")
)

  • You're part of the way there. If you have a quoted list (using the normal forward quote: ' ) then everything inside the list is not evaluated. If you have a backwards quote: ` (which appears to be what you have) then everything inside the list is not evaluated unless it is preceded by a comma. So all you should need to do is change strBL to ,strBL and it should work. This backquote form is often used in macro definition, but it's also useful whenever you want to have something that is mostly literal, but you want to insert a value somewhere in the middle of that literal list.
