Change Label Purpose from Drawing to Pin

JWMP
JWMP over 4 years ago

Hi,

I have generated a layout using Innovus. Once I transfer it into Virtuoso, all the labels that are created have the Purpose of "drawing." In order for the Calibre LVS to pass, these labels need to have the Purpose of "pin." For large designs, I would like to avoid manually changing each label and was wondering if there are any SKILL scripts that I can reference to change each label Purpose from "drawing" to "pin." Hopefully, this question has not been asked before. 

Regards.

    Rather than writing SKILL code, could you use Tools->Find/Replace and then search for labels, pick the layer they are on as a criteria, and then replace the layer to be the pin purpose?
