Component Instance Property - Symbol Instance Property

steve
steve over 15 years ago

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.

    To transfer property from component to its symbol, please try below steps in your Skill program:
    Step1. To create your local property: axlDBCreatePropDictEntry.
    Step2. To get component's Datatip property:  (I suppose that your property name is "datatip")
               new_prop = assoc("datatip" comp_dbid->prop)  
    Step3: Add datatip property to component's symbol: 
               axlDBAddProp(comp_dbid->symbol, new_porop)
