Check if MOSFET gate is connected to power suppy rails

Hi all.

I am using Virtuoso IC6.1.8-64b.500.17.

I hierarchical schematics design with power supply nets defined in top schematic view.

I have request to check if MOSFET's gates are directly connected to any power supply rails.

Between lower levels where MOSFETS are there are "shorter" components that may change net's name and also change of net's name may be changed on component's terminal going from top to bottom.

So far I tried to adapt and use CCFgetHierModelNames function and it gives correct outputs, but it takes hours to process design I got.

Is there any built in function to do this kind of check?

I should have asked this first and then procees with creating new function.

Best regards,

Dragan

    You do not have to answer to this question it looks like schTraceNet function is what I needed.

    Best regards,
