Skill Qn: How to change pin name using skill code

[suresh j]

Hi,
We create pins using the interactive command leHiCreateChoiceOfPin().
This has options so that the pin name is displayed as a label and
attached to the metal layer. When we change the pin name in the
interactive mode, the label text also gets changed automatically.
I want to do this using skill. Could somebody suggest a way?

Thanks.

regards,
Suresh J

Hi Suresh,

The label created is a textDisplay (I think for that command), and shows the
name of the terminal for the pin. If the terminal name changes, it automatically
will change what it displays. So all you'd have to do is change the terminal
associated with the pin object. Should be doable with db functions.
(sorry about the brief answer; I'm in a hotel (as usual...))

Andrew.
