Component Instance Property - Symbol Instance Property

steve

Is there any skill avaliable to transfer a component instance property to a symbol instance property. I have a property in Capture that I would like to display as a datatip in Allegro. Currently the Capture property is a component instance type. The Datatip function uses symbol instance properties. Short of applying these properties manually using Edit Property it would be nice is there was any way to do this with skill after the netlist import.

    Hi GraF,

    You could get the property from compdef. If you have get the component dbid ( i.e. compdbid), you can get its compdef( compdbid->compdef), then you can get the "VALUE" property:

    compdbid->compdef->prop->VALUE

    Is it helpful to you? Have a good day.

     

    Hi leonlee, thank you for the quick reply.

    Due to my little knowledge of skill language, I've done an elementary addition in the row containing "compdef->prop->VALUE" of my program without success.

    I've copied below the program that I'm trying to use (it's based on a routine of Sourcelink), hoping that you can make (if you can) the necessary modifications to get it working.

     

     axlCmdRegister("d_val" 'VALUE)

    procedure(VALUE()
     let((VALUE_popup comp needed_data)

      VALUE_popup = axlUIPopupDefine(nil list(list("Done" 'axlFinishEnterFun)))
      axlUIPopupSet(VALUE_popup)

      axlMsgPut("Click on a component to open the component's needed_data. Choose Done from the RMB menu to exit.")
      axlClearSelSet()
      axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("noall" "components") ?onButtons list("noall" "components"))

      while(axlSelect()               
       comp = car(axlGetSelSet())
       needed_data = get(compdbid->comp->compdef->prop 'VALUE)     

       if((!needed_data) then
        axlMsgPut("ERROR: %s has no VALUE!\n" comp->name)     
       else
        axlMsgPut("Find VALUE for %s: %s.\n" comp->name needed_data)  
       ); end if
       axlClearSelSet()
      ); end while
     ); end let
    ); end procedure

     

    Thanks in advance again for your goodwill. :)
