Concept HDL - Console Command to highlight components with a specific property value

nlman0

I'm trying to write a console command script in Concept HDL 17.2. The idea is that I want to paint all components that have a specific value in a certain property one color, and paint all other components another color. Here is what I have so far.

set nextgroup A

find <property_name>=*

paint <color> A

set nextgroup A

find <property_name>=<property_value>

paint <color> A

The problem here though is that this paints the properties themselves. I am trying to paint the bodies that the properties correspond to.

Is there a way to do this through the console command? If not, is there an alternative way through something like SKILL or a tool within Concept HDL?

    It's been a while so I'm just guessing about the following:

    After the 'find <property_name>=<property_value>' command, try adding

    Include A Bodies

    Exclude A Properties

    This works! The final solution looks something like this:

    set nextgroup A

    find <property_name>=*

    include bodies

    exclude properties

    paint <color1> A

    set nextgroup A

    find <property_name>=<property_value>

    include bodies

    exclude properties

    paint <color2> A

    Thank you!
