Is there an "easy" way to add cdsTerm labels to pins in an existing symbol view? For whatever reason the labels were not created when the symbol was originally created. I'd rather not recreate every symbol in my library, though I know that's an option...

Thanks!
 

Hi,

Other than cut & paste, I can only think of a SKILL solution.
Get the pin co-ordinates, then re-create the label such as:

label = dbCreateLabel(cv list("annotate" "drawing8") car(Spin~>bBox)
strcat("cdsTerm(\"" Spin~>net~>name "\")") "centerRight" "R0" "stick" labelht)

Variable 'Spin' refers to a pin object db, this code places all labels at the lower left bottom of the pin, regardless where the pin is.
You can do a loop for labelling each pins of the cell (is it cell_db~>terminals? I forgot) , & then loop everything for each cells in the library.

Best regards,
I-FAB
 
That's probably what I'll end up doing. Either that or making our new-hire do it by hand

Thanks for the reply!
