Adding Attributes to Multiple Components

gazza47 2 months ago

Hello,

Can anyone advise on the following issue, I'm using Cadence 17.4 Design Entry

We have a Schematic in which there are a number of Test Points and we wish to add the Attribute BOM_IGNORE to all these Components so when we create a Bill of Materials these components are not included.

Is there a way in which we can add the Attribute Globally to all Test Pads rather than add the attribute individually to each Component

Any assistance appreciated

Thanks

Found the following article on Cadence online support portal:

Article (20497186) Title: How to add a global attribute/property to all components in a design using a script in DE-HDL
URL: https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1O3w00000AHAt9EAH

There is one script attached to this article. Where, it tries to add certain property to all components present in the design. To find all components, it applied find $location. However, as you mentioned, you want this property to be applied to test points. Lets say test points has Reference prefix as TP then you can replace script line as, find $location=TP*
