cdsName

cdsName( 
)

Description

The cdsName function uses information about the instance currently being drawn in order to compute the data returned by the schematic editor during a redraw. Consequently, cdsName is only intended to be called as the value of an ILLabel on a symbol, and is not intended for direct evaluation during a program. If it is invoked directly, information on the current drawn instance will not be available. The cdsName will display label information, usually placed on the layer annotate drawing7, near the cell name or instance name.

This function is also attached to a cell symbol view when you use the Add Symbol Label form and the Annotation Setup Form is used to control the display of this label type.

The CDF Interpreted Labels Information sections of both the library and component are also used to configure what the label displays. The pertinent Interpreted Labels Information parameters are instDisplayMode and instNameType.
