Design Entry HDL SKILL function for adding component with PTF attributes

Hi to all,

Is anyone know how to use Design Entry SKILL function for adding component with part table attributes? I tried to add a component from component browser and I noticed the attributes were added by the "add :%Value" command (example below):

add <lib>resistor_0805
add :%Value:VALUE=100k
"<lib>resistor_0805.sym_2";

I tried to create a SKILL function with the following:

handle = (cnmpsImport)
load strcat(getShellEnvVar("CDSROOT") "/tools/fet/skill-01.00/context/cdscnCmnds.ini")
opts = cnSetRunOptions( ?result cnOUT_VERBOSE )
cmdstr = "add <lib>resistor_0805 add: %Value:VALUE=100k \"<lib>resistor_0805.sym_2\""
result = cnSendCommand(handle, cmdstr, ?runOptions opts)

No error on running the function and the component is associate with the mouse cursor. Symbol can be placed with version 2. But the VALUE attribute just cannot be inserted.

Appreciate for any help!!

Thanks,
Vic

I've get this done with:

handle = (cnmpsImport)
load strcat(getShellEnvVar("CDSROOT") "/tools/fet/skill-01.00/context/cdscnCmnds.ini")
opts = cnSetRunOptions( ?result cnOUT_VERBOSE )
cmdstr = "add <lib>resistor_0805.sym_2 \n add :%Value:VALUE=100k \n"
result = cnSendCommand(handle, cmdstr, ?runOptions opts)

Thanks anyway.

Vic, thanks for sharing this - tried this and it works well.
Have you ever looked into placing a part just by typing it's part_number property?
