Wiring Assistant table filler

Tamsay

Hi,

(Cadence version: IC 6.1.8.500.8)

I am trying to make a small script that would automatically fill in some fields of the Wiring Assistant and then create presets (this part is working), but still could not quite come to a good solution to the following issue.

For example if I want to make the number of cuts on vias 2, and I fill it in directly in the WA form, I get the following action execution in the icfb:

icAssistant1->cstOverrideTab->cstPage1->sbNumberCut->value= 2.

Probably it is not the cleanest way, but if this is just copied to the icfb, the outcome is the same, as expected.

The only issue with this approach is that the windowID of icAssistant is changing each time I start Cadence, and it is pretty random (once I ended up with icAssistant76 for example).

After some research, I came across deFindAssistant("Wire Assistant" hiGetCurrentWindow())->hiHandle, which gets exactly what I would need, but then I get stuck, because I cannot make it descend through the tabs towards the value. I tried to merge icAssistantID with ->cstOverrideTab->cstPage1->sbNumberCut->value "manually" through SKILL, but could not make it work like that either.

So my question is actually, is there a way to somehow combine these two approaches, or is there a completely different, and better way of solving this issue?

    Wonder if try have one with a power outlet on the bottom you can piggy back off. Guess you could use a floor mount outlet box and cover on your table ...and figure out how to wire to the wall. Not an electrician so....

    Is this a joke? I was tempted to just mark it as spam, but I cannot see any reason why you would have posted this as spam since there's no links to anything and no promotion of anything else. You posted a vaguely reasonable response to another question so it doesn't appear that you're a bot of some sort.

    Andrew.
