retrieve the net name connected to pcell symbol

mctang21

Hi 

I have pcell symbol. I would like to invoke callback "update_net_prop" when a CDF parameter of this pcell instance is updated. The callback would change the property of the net connected  to the terminal of this pcell instance. How do I retrieve the net name connected to the terminal of this pcell instance ?

cdfCreateParam( cdfId
?name "padNum"
?prompt "Number of ports"
?defValue 1
?type "int"
?display "artParameterInToolDisplay('padNum)"
 ?callback "update_net_prop()"
)

Thanks,

ManChak

    Hi

    I figured out how to retrieve the net myself already. Please ignore my question above. How do I specify  "Form Done Procedure" using SKILL code ?

    I added "PrintSchNet"  to the form manually.

    Thanks,

    Define it in your .cdsinit file.

    Hi Kevin,

    Thank you for your info. Could you tell me the syntax which associates my pell_symbol,il and CDF.il with post done procedure in .cdsinit ? 

    Thanks,

    I don't understand your question. You need to define the function in your .cdsinit file:

    procedure( printSchNet()
              ;Put your code here
    )

    HI Kevin,

    Thank you. My original question is how to specify printScNet in the CDF form without editing CDF form manually after coding " procedure( printSchNet()" ?

    Is it doable ?

    Thanks,

    ManChak

    Yes. Brief example code:

    /****************************************************/
     LIBRARY = "test_8nm_lib"
     CELL = "myparsubckt"
    /****************************************************/

    let( ( libId cellId cdfId )
     unless( cellId = ddGetObj( LIBRARY CELL )
     error( "Could not get cell %s." CELL )
     )
     when( cdfId = cdfGetBaseCellCDF( cellId )
     cdfDeleteCDF( cdfId )
     )
     cdfId = cdfCreateBaseCellCDF( cellId )


    cdfId->doneProc = "printSchNet()"
