Remove and edit prop from pin / net in schematic

Hi,

I'm looking for the skill commands to remove and edit nlAction property from pins in schematic and netType property from nets.  They are located in :

inst~>pin~>term~>prop

cv~>nets~>prop

geGetSelSet()~>pin~>term~>prop~>??
(((db:0x1e0b72a3 cellView db:0x1e0b769a objType "prop"
        prop nil enum nil name
        "nlAction" object db:0x1e0b759c range nil
        value "ignore" valueType "string" assocTextDisplays
        nil )))

cv~>nets~>prop~>??

(nil nil (
    (db:0x1e0b7045 cellView db:0x1e0b721a objType "prop"
    prop nil enum nil name
    "netType" object db:0x1e0b471f range nil
    value "supply0" valueType "string" assocTextDisplays
    nil
    )
) nil nil
)

    You would need to iterate over the nets or terminals in the schematic, and then either do a dbFindProp to find the property object called nlAction on each and then call dbDeleteObject() to delete that property object, or iterate over the nets/terminals and then call dbDeletePropByName() to delete the nlAction property.

    Andrew.

    dbFindProp on inst and net return nil but nlAction and netType are there. What am I missing here?

    PIN :

    dbFindProp(inst "nlAction")
    nil

    ((db:0x1e0b7043 cellView db:0x1e0b721a objType "prop"
    prop nil enum nil name
    "nlAction" object db:0x1e0b6ea2 range nil
    value "ignore" valueType "string" assocTextDisplays
    nil
    )
    )

    NET :

    net
    (db:0x1e0b471f)
    >
    net
    (db:0x1e0b471f)
    >
    dbFindProp(car(net) "nlAction")
    nil
