Description

Retrieves the data from effective CDF. This function is used to match the CDF properties of the graphical window with the global effective CDF properties and needs to be called before annotating CDF properties to reflect the changes done in effective CDF properties.

Arguments

l_window

A graphical Window ID or a list of window IDs on which you want to retrieve the effective CDF properties. When you do not specify this argument, it includes the list of all opened windows for current the current session.

Value Returned

l_windowList	List of windows when the function runs successfully.
nil	Indicates an error.

Example

Suppose you have schematic window (window ID 2) and layout window (window ID 3) open. By default, both of them are annotating netName. Now, toggle display to Pin Name under Terminals (cdsTerm) sub-tab in the Interpreted Labels tab within CDF GUI for any schematic component, such as nmos.

window = setof(win hiGetWindowList() geIsGraphicalWindow(win))

window ==> (window:2 window:3)

annRetrieveFromEffectiveCDF(window)

Now, if you redraw both the layout and schematic, these views will annotate Pin name for the specified component.
