Add pins automatically in schematic

Martinsh
Martinsh over 4 years ago

Dear Sir,

When we select an instance in a schematic window then press space key, it will add wires to the instance with net name same as the pin name of the instance. I need a procedure like this function but has more actions. 

1) Select an instance in the schematic window

2) Run skill procedure

3)If the instance has floating pins, the skill will add wires to all floating pins with net name same as the pin name of instance. Also it will add an output pin to each wire added just now.

Could you please show me the skill script for this?

BR,

Martin

    Martin, 

    There's nothing built-in to do this, but it would be fairly straightforward to adapt the code in SKILL: Add wire stubs to all floating pins of a single or multiple schematic instances to also add pins (e.g. using schCreatePin - maybe inspired by the code in this post).
