Replace a component using its CDS_LIBRARY_ID in system Capture

YC202504163531

[In System Capture 24.1]

I’m trying to write a script that replaces a component with its EMPTY counterpart and vice versa. The challenge is that, to successfully replace the component and keep it in sync with Pulse, I need the CDS_LIBRARY_ID property of the new component. I don’t know where to extract this property from. I can get the value from an already placed component, but that’s not useful for replacements.

I’m using this command:

replace -part -by $componentLibs -preserveUserProp -preserveRefDes -propVisChanged -key [list {MATERIAL=EMPTY=1} {CDS_LIBRARY_ID=$cdsLibId=0} ] -i [list  {}] -useexistingtr  -cpath [list  "$cpath" ]
sch::leaveBatchMode

I tried to get the CDS_LIBRARY_ID property from the part table of the library, but it’s not there. I suspect this property is injected by the Part Information Manager. Does anyone know more about this, or how to automate the Part Information Manager window to retrieve or set this property?
