Check for terminals display property

HDar

Hi,

I am writing a skill script to check if all the terminals in a symbol has their display property turned on or not. And return all the terminals for which the display property is off. 

What I realized, there are two different type of terminals that exist based on number of display property that exist.

For the terminal on left (pin A) there exist 4 options for Display property. Whereas for the one on the right side, there are only 2.

Thanks,

Himanshu

  • Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for all the explanation. And apologies for responding late.

    I tried to query the terminal's children properties (by doing this : geGetSelSet()~>children~>??). Down this hierarchy there is "isVisible" attribute, from which I can track if the display is "on" or not.

    However, I was wondering, is there a way to select an object (say a terminal itself) without opening the symbol gui? I am to test thousands of standard cells for this property check. Opening and closing each schematic would be a pain and clearly not a good idea. I tried using geSelectPoint, but it doesn't have an option as to which symbol to select the object from. I was hoping a command that would take the db pointer of the symbol as input.

    Thanks,
