Henry Monro

Hi,

I need to place the modules at a specific location intelligently. Is there any way to place or swap the Modules MDD file using SKILL script.

Thanks

    I have a problem when placing the module named as "xx_mod" that the instance of that module when set as "inst" is updated in the net names as well and if I keep it blank then its concatenating "_" before the net names but I don't want it to be updated as its not matching the net names. I wanted to keep it default so please help in this regard Thanks

    modinst = axlDBCreateModuleInstance("inst" "xx_mod" '(4181 2456) 0 2 '("GND" "+5"))
