How to rename a cell and re-reference in top level schematic

haaf1919

Hi 

I want to change my cell names and add a prefix to all of them. Then I need to re-reference my top level schematic to the new cells. 

One way to do this is to manually change the cell names and use "find" function in schematic to replace the cells. But it will take ages. So, I was wondering if there is a simpler way for doing this. I think there should be a skill code but couldn't find it.

Many thanks.

    Hi,

    Look for the code "CCSHierCopyWithPrefixSuffix.il" on the Support site (Perhaps try this link) You would need to copy with the rename and then later delete the originals once you've confirmed the copy and re-reference operations.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
