About Calibre, How to Add label automaticaly

[Future_OK]

For physical design, I first use Synopsys Astro, and than dump the gds file to Calibre for LVS. The problem is that if there are many ports in the design, I have to add the labels one by one manually. I just wonder if any one here knows there is a method that could help to add label automatically, or a method that made Astro exports gds with port name ?

Can you save the labels in a file containing something like LVS TEXT commands, then just use that same labels file each time?

Thanks for your tips. You mean that once I add a label and save the design, the information about the label must be add to a file anywhere , and I should find it out?

In your LVS rules file, have:

INCLUDE "bondpads.txt"

Then in bondpads.txt, have:

LAYOUT TEXT pin_func_1 0 200 50 design_top
LAYOUT TEXT pin_func_2 0 300 50 design_top

etc.

How can I get the label coordinate easily?

for example, If I want to get the center coordinate of the each PAD,
How can I get it with script?

Manually measure is too tedious.

Thanks, I have tried the command you provide, and It dose work. The Format is following:
LAYOUT TEXT (pin_name) X(Coordinate) Y(Coordinate) (metal_layer) (design_top)

And it seems if there is "[]" in pin name, the string should be quoted with "".
I think I can transform the coordinate information from tdf file by Astro
