SysCap - "Swap" Net Name"

JohnFr38
JohnFr38 over 2 years ago

Hi Everyone,

I'm having a problem using SysCapture. I would like to swap "net name" of a FPGA 

On VHD designer -> Texte/swap

On SysCap -> Swap PIN

But the function modifies the PIN name and not the associated NET.

    Hello John, 

    Are you swapping the pins in pcb editor and then importing the layout into System Capture? As per the flow, pins within the same pin group can be swapped in pcb editor. These changes can be back-annotated to SysCap schematic using the File > Import > Layout option.

    Thank you for answer. 

    With this method on the schematic -> the numbering changes. On chip : 10-9-8-7-6 i want swap net label of 8 & 7. If I use the command swap pin, on the  graphic representation chip : 10-9-7-8-6

    I would like just swap the net no swap pin

    It's the best solution! Thank you so much!


    This solution is 100% functional and even allows you to add a keyboard shortcut! 

    I had read another guide that asked you to put scripts in "canvas/resources/sda" Now I understand where the mistake was

    Thanks again

    Dear CadAP,

    may i ask you if i run On SysCap -> Swap PIN. How could i swap the pin number and pin name together? Currently only Pin Number swapped without Pin Name swapped together.

    Many thanks.

    Currently only Pin Number is editable on schematic canvas.

    Dear CadAP,

    many thanks for your reply. I created another case for this issue: (1) Pin Swap issue from DE HDL to System Capture - Allegro X System Capture (EE Cockpit) - PCB Design & IC Packaging (Allegro X) - Cadence Community

    If a solution such as tcl available may i ask you to advise me in the case above?

    Many thanks again and wish you a nice day.

    Best Regards

    Moyan

    Dear CadAP,

    an update: i swapped the pins in PCB Editor and back annotated in System Capture, the design swap information gets updated on the schematic only the pin numbers were interchanged and the pin text wasn't changed.
