Orcad to Allegro netlist: Net names in a hierarchical design

archive
archive over 13 years ago

Hi,

How can I change the way my hierarchical net names are constructed?

When I netlist I get my net name with the block name affixed to the end with underscore separator:  <net_name>_<block_name>

i.e for net  = DDR_DQ0, inside block named FPGA, I get DDR_DQ0_FPGA.

I would like the block name to be a prefix...  FPGA_DDR_DQ0.

Can anyone tell me how I can control this?

Thanks
