A question about pin label change text

Dear all,

while I do create pin, I need generate a pin and create label by text option turn on switch "Create As Label".

Now I get a strange case, if I change the terminal name of pin shape. The label text can't be updated as well as pin terminal.

If I create a pin without turn on "Create As Label". The label text can synchronous update with modify of pin terminal.

My design request to turn on "Create As Label" since its character’s objType will be 'label'. And istead to use objType as 'textDisplay'.

I am painful on it, in order to let label text same as pin terminal, I have to modify twice.

Could you let me know if there is any solution on it. Thank you.

My tool enviroment is IC618.

Best Regards

Tony

Tony,

That's kind of the point of using textDisplay objects (what you get without "Create As Label" selected). The value of the textDisplay is the value of an associated attribute - in this case the terminal - and hence it always stays in sync. Why not use that, since that's what it's intended for?

Otherwise you could use this code to change the terminal name and label at the same time: SKILL script to update labels along with pin names in Virtuoso Layout Suite XL environment?

Regards,

Andrew
