Rename schematic pin in hierarchy

ssram

Hi,

Is there an existing SKILL code that could rename pins in a schematic hierarchy? This will include the pin name, any net name associated with it and all the symbols related to it in the hierarchy. Mostly i'm intending to rename this from a current to bottom hierarchy mode.

Thanks

  • Hi Ram,

    Not something I've written myself. I initially wondered whether the schematic replace command would do this, but rather oddly it only replaces the pins on the schematic, not on the symbols - which is a bit limiting. I also found some SKILL code written by a colleague (not published as an article unfortunately) which does do it for schematic and symbol hierarchically. I didn't check whether it also renames wire labels (I think it does from a quick glance of the code). However, it only updates the views it visits - so if you have other views alongside the schematic/symbol, they wouldn't be touched (e.g. Verilog-A views etc) - doing that would add a fair bit of complexity.

    I suggest you contact customer support and advise the AE to start by looking for CCSchangePinInHier - maybe this code willl be sufficient for your needs.

    Regards,
