How to make a pin from terminal!

dogman4

Hi all，

I have a schematic. I want an schematic’s bindkey. it can make a pin which name and direction same with the terminal by select the instance’s terminal and press this bindkey.

Now,I can only find the function:”scheHiCreatePin()” but can’t find the way to get selected terminal’s ID.

Can I get some help? Thank you guys in advance!

    If this was urgent, you should contact customer support. This is not intended to be a substitute of that, and people reply here in their spare time (including those of us from Cadence who respond here). I had no spare time yesterday...

    If you've selected the pin on an instance, then you can retrieve information about it as follows.

    ; assuming just a single object is selected
obj=car(geGetObjectSelectedSet())
; check that there is hierarchy in the selection
when(cadr(obj)
  shape=car(obj)
  owner=car(cadr(obj))
  inst=car(owner)
  terminal=shape~>pin~>term
  terminalName=terminal~>name
  instTerm=car(setof(instT inst~>instTerms instT~>name==terminalName))
  shapeBBox=dbTransformBBox(shape~>bBox inst~>transform)
  printf("Selected terminal name %L net %L coord %L\n"
    terminalName
    instTerm~>net~>name
    shapeBBox
  )
)

    Then if you're going to create a pin from SKILL, then using schCreatePin would probably make more sense rather than the "Hi" (Human Interface) version of the function.
