which symbol in HDL stands for connecter?

[Gonn]

Hi, everyone, i am newer to cadence. Now, i encounter one problem.
As i learn Allegro, i know that it is netlist driven, so, if i have one 10 pins connector in Allegro, i should have a correspondence of it in HDL, but in my schematic, the correspondence of connector is just output ports or offpage symbols. Can these symbols be associated with connector? and how? if not, should i creat one new symbol in HDL for the connector?
thanks!

Hi,

You need to have a corresponding 10 pins schematics part in HDL. The footprint property of this schematics part must match the Allegro footprint name you want to use.

Firstly, thank you Franck
you mean i will creat one logic pat in HDL, then link it with footprint of the connector. I know it will work, but it is not as convenient as just adding output port symbol to pins of part, therefore, can i do it with output port in standard library of HDL?
