list all power pin names and coordinates relative to the top level

need to find all of the power or all pin names and coordinates in relation to the top level for Voltus.   There a couple on the support site but either they give the coordinates but not name or the one that should show both has a coding error.   Article Number:20451957  which has been reported.

    I just tried that article, and it appears to work. So not sure what coding error you're referring to (the case you filed doesn't say either - just says there's a coding error)?

    I tried both copying and pasting the code from the text of the article, and using the file attached to the article. Both were OK.

    Andrew.

    think I found the issue.    The original code had the pin LPP as drawing which is valid but for this technology, we use LPP of pin.   Once I changed it to "pin" it started to work.   I would have expected to return nil instead of posting an error.

    Hi Rick,

    You should be able to do (looking at the code):

    CCSPinsTransformedToTopLevel(?myLayer list("yourLayer" "pin"))

    I didn't get that error with pins on purpose pin, so I'm not sure that's the reason. I was just wondering whether mosaics might cause the issue - not sure though. I'd probably have to see the data that is causing the error (it's not my code). So I suggest you continue with your follow-up on this via customer support that you've already initiated.

    Thanks,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew - thanks for the quick response!   I tried deleting and re-entering   drawing   and it then worked so maybe theres a control character in the code or something???    I will follow up with support.

    Thanks again

    Rick
