How to make a pin from net (or wire)?

shyoon

Hello Guys,

I want to automatically make pins from Net name or symbols.

(Cadence version : 6.1.8)

And I do not know the SKill well. 

Can I get some help?

Thank you!

    There was a typo. yourLibName is the object of the target library that you get from ddGetObj. If you haven't assigned a string with the name of the cell you want to yourCellName then it will also give you an error.

    yourLibName=ddGetObj("shyoons_library") ;this is the name of the library that your schematic is in

    Also, there's no need to pass a dd object to dbOpenCellViewByType - a string with the library name would be sufficient:

    yourLibName="shyoons_library"

    (trying to keep things simple for )

    Good point, that's right. I'm always doing other things with this object so I use it by default but a string also works just fine!

    Maybe I'm not approaching it well. I made the script you told me into an .il file and loaded it from CIW, but I keep getting an unbound error.

    The procedure outlined should work fine. Unbound error just means that you are using a variable that has not been assigned so re-check your code.
