Orcad Capture TCL scripting

I tried the above example on a sample schematic I had and what I got back confuses me.  I have a net that has the netname "test2" selected and I followed the commands from Kuenga606 and what I got as a response to lNetOcc was "_203f310a_p_DboNetOccurrence".  I assume this is what they call in the TCL/TK Extensions App note a "CString".  I tried running the command

puts [DboTclHelper_sGetConstCharPtr $lNetOcc]

and I get back the following

[    1]No matching function for overloaded 'DboTclHelper_sGetConstCharPtr'

What does this mean?  How do I see the actual netname "String"?

 Hi rob22,

lNetOcc is the object of class 'class DboNetOccurrence '. This object understands the API listed under 'class DboNetOccurrence' in the PDF 'OrCAD_Capture_TclTk_Extensions.pdf'. To get the name from the object we need to use the following API:

 GetNetName(name) : returns DboState
Parameters:
name: CString &

eg:

set lCStrObj [DboTclHelper_sMakeCString]

$lNetOcc GetNetName $lCStrObj

puts [DboTclHelper_sGetConstCharPtr $lCStrObj]

To get the flatnet name we need to do the following:

set lFlatNetObj [$lNetOcc GetFlatNet $lStatus]

$lFlatNetObj GetName $lCStrObj

puts [DboTclHelper_sGetConstCharPtr $lCStrObj]

Thanks

Hi,

I am trying to iterate over libaries in CIS and tryng make copy part from existing library to new library with new name. I have difficulites to try proper commands for it.

To access libary I used these commands:

#to access session
set lSession $::DboSession_s_pDboSession
set lStatus [DboState]
DboSession -this $lSession
# to access existing library
set lLibraryPath [DboTclHelper_sMakeCString C:/Cadence/tcl/DISCRETES.OLB]
set lLib [DboSession_GetLibAndSchematics $lSession $lLibraryPath $lStatus]
# the iterate via to wanted package...
set pkgNameIter [$lLib NewPackageNamesIter $lStatus]
set pPkgName [DboTclHelper_sMakeCString]
set lStatus [$pkgNameIter NextName $pPkgName]
# create new library
set newLib [$lSession CreateLib [DboTclHelper_sMakeCString "C:/Cadence/tcl/test.OLB"] $lStatus] 

DEADLOCK here... I have no exact imagination of data // commands model and I am unable to copy the part under new name.

I will appreaciate some guide how to copy part from one olb file to another

Many thanks in advance.

Typing the above command by itself did not work for me, so I contacted Cadence.  See below for their response:

Please run the following two commands in the TCL shell-

 SetOptionBool Journaling  TRUE

SetOptionBool DisplayCommands  TRUE

 This should then enable the display of journaling commands n the TCL shell.

Running both the commands worked for me.

Best Regards

Hi All,

I`m trying to get the objects which are connecting by a wire I select,

so I iterate all thing in a page and try to find  if there are matching netname with the selecting wire,but it is Inefficient.

How can I do with another better way?

Thanks!
