OrCAD Capture TCL to Iterate over all pins of a part in a Library File

Kodela

Hi All,

I am new to TCL scripting in OrCAD Capture and wanting to write a simple script to

iterate over all pins of a part (multiple sections) in a Library file, and to print each of the pin number.

I have got an example from the user guide, to iterate over all pins of a part instance/ drawn instance:


set lIter [$lInst NewPinsIter $lStatus]

set lNullObj NULL

#get the first pin of the part

set lPin [$lIter NextPin $lStatus]

while {$lPin !=$lNullObj } {

#placeholder: do your processing on $lPin

#get the next pin of the part

set lPin [$lIter NextPin $lStatus]

}

delete_DboPartInstPinsIter $lIter

Just wondering how i shall proceed from here...

e.g  the Library file is "my_Library.olb",

the name of the part is "Our_Chip" and it comes with multiple sections.

Appreciate if any TCL expert can help, Thanks in Advance.

    You need to read the earlier sections of the User Manual. You have the "inner loop" in your code example above, you will, probably, need to Start a Session, then Open a Design (Library is the same thing), then Iterate over the Library parts, when you get the matching part name, iterate through the "sections". See the later script example for "package corrections in library, or design" for some guidance.
