More information about enum type variable in TCL Class

Morgan 

When you select a part and type below command you will get nType.

[GetSelectedObject] GetObjectType --> return nType (13 ) PLACED_INSTANCE

if you type puts $DboBaseObject_PLACED_INSTANCE returns 13.

Now you can select wire or other schematic object and get the nType value.

Hope it helps.

Hi CadAP,

I mean one TCL class such as GetCachedSymbol or ReplaceCache, the varible "type: enum DboBaseObject::ObjectTypeT" or "nObjType: enum DboBaseObject::ObjectTypeT", What arguments should be passed to it? How to define the arguments and Where to query?

#

#

#

GetCachedSymbol(SourceLibName, SourceSymbolName, type) : returns DboSymbol

Class : DboLib(DboBaseObject):

Parameters:

SourceLibName: CString &

SourceSymbolName: CString &

type: enum DboBaseObject::ObjectTypeT

#

#

#

UpdateCache(sourceLibName, sourceObjName, nObjType) : returns DboState

Class : DboLib(DboBaseObject):

Parameters:

sourceLibName: CString &

sourceObjName: CString &

nObjType: enum DboBaseObject::ObjectTypeT

Hi CadAP,

Your command maybe wrong, when I select one part, and tpye command [GetSelectedObject] GetObjectType, it return [    1]invalid command name "GetSelectedObject", when I type command  [GetSelectedObjects] GetObjectType, it return 13, but not "nType (13 ) PLACED_INSTANCE"

When I type command "puts $DboBaseObject_PLACED_INSTANCE", it really print 13.

But, How I know should use variable "$DboBaseObject_PLACED_INSTANCE" if that command dosen't return "nType (13 ) PLACED_INSTANCE" ?

Correct syntax is GetSelectedObjects. 

In place of DboBaseObject::ObjectTypeT variable you can provide nType 13 for placed instance, 65  "TITLEBLOCK_INSTANCE"  15 PORT_INSTANCE etc.

But, How I know should use variable "$DboBaseObject_PLACED_INSTANCE" if that command dosen't return "nType (13 ) PLACED_INSTANCE" ?

Ans: From design cache container if you want to filter only placed instance (all components) you need to pass value 13 in place ofDboBaseObject_PLACED_INSTANCE,  or 65 for TITLEBLOCK_INSTANCE etc.

Thanks CadAP.
