How can I check symbol's ports and symbol's name in a schematic ?

Ichiro,

Your requirement is rather vague - it's unclear what exactly you're asking. Can you perhaps show a picture of a schematic and what you'd be expecting in the output file?

Regards,

Andrew

Sorry,

I'd like to find symbol's port names in a schematic by skill.

Next, I'd like to create lines with the name.

Best regards,

Ichiro

if you hit "space bar", while having selected the instance, it will end up to connect the cell like that !

No need skill for this feature, already made. (although a skill script is behind that obviously)

May be you need to 'check and save' before hitting "break bar", i am not sure about that.

You can use a foreach loop to iterate through the terminals on a symbol and use centerBox to get the appropriate coordinates.

foreach(term oldSymView~>terminals

;Generate offset for pin locations and wiring
xpin_ofs = x_ofs + nth(0 centerBox(nth(0 nth(0 term~>pins~>figs~>bBox))))
ypin_ofs = y_ofs + nth(1 centerBox(nth(0 nth(0 term~>pins~>figs~>bBox))))

Since you want to draw a wire you might need to do some additional checking to figure out the location of the pins on the symbol if they aren't in a fixed side of the symbol based on pin type. You could find the bounding box of the symbol (assuming one exists) and determine which part of the symbol each pin occurs based on the coordinates of the bounding box.

Thanks for great information ! I was most impressed this year.

How did you learn the "hitting space bar" ? I'd like to know skills already made like as "space bar".

From the CIW: Options->Bindkeys... will give you a list of shortcuts mapped to keystrokes.

Thanks, Kevin-san,

I'm trying skill you show...today I could only run simple script shown below from CIW because today is my first skill day. 

(1) run the file from SKILLIDE (2) type and enter "test()" in CIW

It's run well, but I don't why I couldn't run "test()" from SKILLIDE directly. (or from .sh file)

------------------

procedure( test()

cvId = dbOpenCellViewByType("test_1" "TEST_1" "schematic" "w")
schHiTree(cvId)

); procedure

------------------

Unless you specify in your .cdsinit file the function will not be known to the tool by default. You need to load the function in the CIW first:

load([string_path_to_file])

The command pwd works in the CIW so you can see the current directory.

Oh! That's great!

I could find "space key" skill and more. This can help me understanding each skill function. 

Thanks!

Thanks, My understanding is that it's means the 1st step I used SKILLIDE should be change usage of "load" command in CIW..? or edit .initcde file.
