schHiUpdatePinsFromView

schHiUpdatePinsFromView(
[ ?viewName t_viewName ]
)
=> t

Description

Updates the pin information in the current cellview from another view of the same cell. This works from schematic to symbol cellview, and vice-versa.

Entering schHiUpdatePinsFromView() will display the Update Pins form which allows you to manually select the view you want to update from.

If a pin direction is changed, using the schHiUpdatePinsFromView()command, the pin will be re-mastered as appropriate to the new direction, potentially changing the pin shape and label position in the process. This would be equivalent to performing the same task using Edit Object Properties and having to manually make pin direction changes.

Arguments

?viewName t_viewName

Specifies the view that you want to update the current view from, for example “schematic”. This is an optional argument. If a view is not specified, the Update Pins form is displayed, prompting you to select a view.

Value Returned

Always returns t.

Examples

Specifies that you want to update the current cellview, for example symbol, with the latest pin information from the cell’s schematic view.

schHiUpdatePinsFromView("schematic")

Specifies, using keyword arguments, that you want to update the current cellview with the latest pin information from the cell’s symbol view.

schHiUpdatePinsFromView(?viewName "symbol")
