Getting associated library cell name for a instance in ets

Hi,

Is it possible to get associated library cell name for any given instance in design.

I can see 'get_cells' which returns instance name and 'get_lib_cells' which returns the cell names matching the regular expression.

In 'report_timing' it prints the cell name but the same is not made available in collection.

Please help me with same and correct me if I am wrong.

Regards,

Abhi

Try: get_property [get_cells $instName] ref_name, or maybe get_attribute, I forget which is used in each EDA tool.

I tried that already and went through all the option that collection of type 'cell' or collection of type 'pin'provides.
Actually logically speaking 'get_cells' should return library cell name but here it returns instance name which I can even get it by triming pin name :(

Too bad. I usually revert back to db-access when nothing else works. Something like: dbCellName [dbInstCell [dbGetInstByName [get_object_name $col]]]

Got it:
ref_lib_cell_name
This will give associated library cell name.
