How to change the default name for PDK schematic pcell instances

Hi,

When we instantiate a schematic pcell from the technology PDK library, the name often starts with M(for mos), D(for diode), C(for cap), R(for res).

Is there any way to control these ? Lets say, my default instance name for MOS comes as M1,M2,M3....etc, I want to change it to MOS1, MOS2, MOS3...etc.

Please let me know if you have come across such things.

Thanks In Advance,

Amar

Amar,

You'd need to edit the symbol view of the component, and then edit Edit->Properties->CellView. Turn on the "system" checkbox, and then it's controlled by the instNamePrefix property.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you. It helped a lot. I was digging into the CDFs.
