Hierarchical Block Design

LiamNguyen

Hello,

I have 5 questions regarding hierarchical blocks I am trying to make for my engineering team:

1) How can I make my hierarchical blocks that I have created automatically have the attribute “subdesign_suffix”? My goal is for my team and I to use these hierarchical blocks with the maximum ease as possible, and having this automatically is one less step for them to do.

2) When the subdesign_suffix displays in the Cadence schematic, it is automatically populated to the top right of my hierarchical blocks, kind of far away, and I would like to bring it closer to my blocks, and more centered by default. How can I go about doing this?

3) One of my component libraries includes a few components that I do not want - I want them removed. How can I remove these unwanted components?

4) How can I make the library of components that I have created exportable for others to download and use for their future inquiries?

5) Do hierarchical blocks inside of hierarchical blocks work? How does the naming of these components work with respect to their subdesign suffixes?

Thank you!

    #5 - Yes.  You can make a hybrid of flat and hierarchical blocks.

    #3 - Delete key on the component, but it deletes from all pages referenced from the Block.

    Remember HBlocks are like function calls in code, once you change the code in the function it is the same every time it is called.

    Other topics i'll leave to the real experts.
