Get Instance Terminal Coordinates in Schematic

HI Karam,

geGetSelSet()~>instTerms~>term returns the terminals database objects in that instance's master cell - which is a cell view of type schematicSymbol.

Other than that a terminal is a "logical thing" and nothing with a bounding box. Assuming that there is just one pin on the terminal and one pin figure on  that pin (which I think is a save assumption in a symbol) To get at the "selectable" pin you need to go like this...

(caar term~>pins~>figs)~>bBox

to get at the bounding box (with those corordinates being relative to the master cellview). So you'd still need to transform them with geTransformUserBBox(..) to make them realtive to your schematic

the below code returns the bBox coordinates you are looking for:

inst=(car geGetSelSet())

(foreach mapcar term inst~>instTerms~>term
   (geTransformUserBBox  
      (caar term~>pins~>figs)~>bBox
      inst~>transform
   )
)

Thanks a lot mbracht. Now I can derive the terminal coordinates with the help of your code!
