Skill script to write the name and direction of pins from a symbol veiw- pin name for bus are not printing

Nisanth SS

Hi,

I'm developing a script to print the names and directions of all pins, including buses, from the selected symbol view.

The current script successfully prints the names of individual pins and their directions, but it crashes when it encounters a bus pin.

Could you please assist me in modifying the script to handle bus pins and print their names and directions as well?

(procedure lmExtractPin()
workid= geGetEditCellView()
foreach(inst workid~>signals
a=inst~>terms
printf("PIN: %s Direction: %s \n" car(a~>name) car(a~>direction))
)
dbClose(workid)
)

Thanks

  • Slightly strange variable names in your code. Something like this would work:

    procedure(CCFreportPins(@optional (cv geGetEditCellView()))   
      foreach(term cv~>terminals
        printf("PIN: %s Direction: %s\n" term~>name term~>direction)
      )
    )

    Starting from the signals is not a particularly good place to start, I think.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for the feedback and for providing the example code. I appreciate the clarification regarding the variable names and your suggestion.

    Your code works perfectly for me.

    Is there a way to determine whether it’s a pin or a bus from its properties?

    Thanks,

    Nisanth,

    I'm not sure what you mean by "whether it's a pin or a bus". That's like asking whether something is "an apple or a car". 

    If you are asking whether the pin (strictly the terminal) is a scalar (single signal) or a vector (multi-bit), you could do this:

    procedure(CCFreportPins(@optional (cv geGetEditCellView()))   
      foreach(term cv~>terminals
        printf("PIN: %s Direction: %s Bits: %d\n" term~>name term~>direction term~>numBits)
      )
    )

    Thank you for this additional information; it will help simplify my program.
