axlDBGetDesign()->pins returns nil?

HJerry

Hi all,

I tried to collect all the pins in a design by using axlDBGetDesign()->pins, but it returns nil. 

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Jerry

    A pin is not a child of a board design. You need to use a selection set to get the pins.

    Thanks Dave

    Do you know why pins are listed when you do axlDBGetDesign()->?

    Just curious.

    They can be a child of a dra etc.

    You can also use this to extract all pins and vias:

    lpins = lvias = nil
    axlExtractMap( "cpad_bv"     lambda( (dbid cpad) case(dbid->objType ("pin" push(dbid lpins)) ("via" push(dbid lvias)))))
