Page numbering on Hierarchical blocks

Quist
Quist over 13 years ago

Is it possible to, in an automated way, add the page number of the underlying schematic page to a hierarchical block?

In large designs it would increase the "readability" significantly. Adding the information manually in plain text however can cause a big change-job as soon as a new page is added somewhere in the design and has the "potential to come out of sync"

Perhaps a Tcl-script could do the job?

    Decided to give this tcl utility a try.  Failed; I believe due to path length, my path has over 90 charterers.

    - Message: Annotation of Page Number H Block failed.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    So I saved the project in a temp directory - c:\TEMP

    The tcl now does not fail, but nothing happens when I click on the OK button.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Release: Allegero Design Entry CIS 16.6 S055

    Suggestions?

    Many thanks.
