Rename all labels of an instance in a schematic

multiverse

Is it possible to change all label names of an instance using skill script?

For example, when I add instance in a schematic and hit "space" bar then it creates all the labels based on port name of an instance. I would like to add a suffix "_sv" to all these labels.

Is there an easy way to change all label names and add this common suffix to all labels?

Thanks.

  • I quickly threw this together. Select the instances (which already have the wire stubs and labels) and then call CCFaddSuffixToWireLabels("_sv")

    procedure(CCFaddSuffixToWireLabels(suffix @optional (insts geGetSelSet()))
  let((pinBox wireShapes cv)
    cv=car(insts)~>cellView
    foreach(inst insts
      when(inst~>master
        foreach(term inst~>master~>terminals
          foreach(pin term~>pins
            foreach(fig pin~>figs
              ;----------------------------------------------------------
              ; Having iterated over terminals, pins and figures,
              ; transform up to the parent cellView and find overlapping 
              ; wires
              ;----------------------------------------------------------
              pinBox=dbTransformBBox(fig~>bBox inst~>transform)
              wireShapes=dbShapeQuery(cv '("wire" "drawing") pinBox 0 0)
              foreach(wire wireShapes
                ;--------------------------------------------------------
                ; Then look for any attached labels and add suffix
                ;--------------------------------------------------------
                foreach(label wire~>children
                  when(label~>objType=="label"
                    label~>theLabel=strcat(label~>theLabel suffix)
                  )
                )
              )
            )
          )
        )
