Hi,

i have very basic doubt.........

I have a schematic which has DESIGN+PAD FRAME...... I want to add one
top level which contains both of these inside it......I mean in the
end I should have on instance and when I go inside I should find these
two DESIGN+PADFRAME.......

and I want that pins coming out of the design should be inlined with
the top instance i.e its location should not be changed.......please
help

How to do this ???

Hi Puneet,

This is very feasible.
1. Create your symbol as usual.
2. Read the pins from your schematic, i.e.
pinList=setof(pin cvSchematic~>instances pin~>cellName=="ipin" ||
pin~>cellName=="opin" || pin~>cellName=="iopin" )
3. For each pin in the pinList, grab the location, i.e. pin~>xy
4. Look at the same pin in the symbol and give it that 'xy', i.e.
symbolPin~>xy=schematicPin~>xy.

Hope you will get yourself sorted out with this.
I can put some quick skill function together later today if needed
(running out of time these days I'm afraid).

Regards,
Riad.
