removing underscore on refdes

seyerfred
Hi all,

is there possible skill code that can rename refdes by batch or just removing _1 ~ _x cause by using moduling groups?
and it will change refdes as report from symbol.. 

Thank you

  • Hi

    I would think that you could just use Logic->Rename refdes to just do an ordinary reference renaming and then backannotate it to schematic.

    That should strip everything except the letter part of your reference designators. 

     

    Best regards

  • Hi Ole

    Logic>autorename refdes will create a unique refdes intire design, all i want is to retain refdes and delete only underscore extension(with repeated refdes on design).

    by the way is there other way axlSelectByName("REFDES" sym)? i want to modify procedure of set_refdes.il to merge autosilk refdes but the the axl depend on ticked refdes on symbol..

    procedure( _find_refdes(sym tlayer)
    prog( list(child l_children o_type o_layer match_loc)
    l_children = car(axlSelectByName("REFDES" sym))->children
    foreach(child l_children
    o_type = child->objType
    o_layer = child->layer
    if(o_type=="text" && o_layer==tlayer then
    match_loc=child->xy
    axlClearSelSet()
    return(list(child match_loc))
    )
    )
    )
    )


    Thank you

  • You can use axlRenameRefdes. You will have to go through each symbol.

    eg  axlRenameRefdes("U1_1" "U1")

    Take care that the new refdes doesn't already exist because  axlRenameRefdes will just swap them.

  • Thanks Dave,

     could it be possible to create backup of all refdes then axlRenameRefdes get the backup as reference to rename all at one time? 

     

    Thank you 

  • If you can understand the following code it might help:

    refdesList = setof(refdes, axlDBGetDesign() ->symbols ~>refdes, refdes)

    tempRefdesList = mapcar(lambda((refdes), and(tempRefdes = strcat(refdes, "_TEMP"), axlRenameRefdes(refdes, strcat(refdes, "_TEMP")), tempRefdes)), refdesList)

    forall(result, mapcar(lambda((refdes), axlRenameRefdes(refdes, car(parseString(refdes, "_")))), tempRefdesList), result)
