How can I get the name of all instances in schematic

Hi,

I would like to get the name of all the instances in a given schematic. It would be even better if I could narrow down the list to MOSFETs only.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Pedro

    Well:

    cv=geGetEditCellView()
    instNames=cv~>instances~>name

    will give you all the instance names. Determining whether they are MOSFETs or not is going to be slightly tricky because there's no real indication of that at schematic level. If you have a set of known component names for the MOSFETs then you could do:

    mosfetNames=list("nmos1v" "pmos1v")
    cv=geGetEditCellView()
    mosNames=setof(inst cv~>instances member(inst~>cellName mostfetNames))~>name

    Regards,

    Andrew
