Is there any way to change the system generated net name in orcad automatically

1) Specify the design name in the project manager window

2) From the menu, select Edit -> Search,

3) From the Search dialog - select links outside the page only with the name you want to rename

4) Select all in the spreadsheet that appears with the names of external pages 5) Select the Edit menu -> Properties - you should see another spreadsheet

6) Rename one value in the spreadsheet

7) Click Copy for the modified value

8) Select the entire column

9) Click the “Paste” button if you want advanced processing and not just a simple name replacement -

You can try the following options (Please note: All of these solutions will require the latest 16.3ISR installation.) -

A) Export to text format like EDIF or XML - Make changes and re-import (For xml, tcl export and import orders are - XMATIC_XML2DSN and XMATIC_DSN2XML)

B) You can work directly on the Orcad database. Rhythm provides a mycolez TCL sample for searching and replacing text. TCL can be modified to work on Offpage objects. If you decide to use this - then you need to execute the following TCL commands after your program changes flags on objects. Package requires capDesignUtil; :: :: capDesignUtil reevaluateAllPagesOfOpenDesigns

You can do this in batch or through the TCL shell available in Capture. TCL commands are documented and used in \ tools \ capture \ tclscripts \ OrCAD_Capture_TclTk_Extensions.pdf

If you need R&D assistance at TCL - you can contact at orcad_scripting@cadence.com

C) If your design contains only a few pages - you can write an implementation script through the user interface. You can turn on Capture Daily and see TCL commands executed through the user interface. You can write a simple script to work on a small script to filter the selected objects to external pages and execute the rename command recorded in the journal. This will create one page at a time unless it denotes TCL to browse all pages.
