Change instance name prefixes automatically

MF202512032436

Hi all,

I would like to change all instance name prefixes for a group of cells placed in a schematic:

Example:

All cells with the cell-name starting with "nch" (so n-MOS devices) should have the instance name prefix "N". The old prefix M or MN should be removed.

Thanks for your help

Martin
