Many of you already received communications about the move of the Cadence user community into cadence.com. And many of you have already joined, with over 4000 registrations in the first two weeks.

The new Cadence Community enhances the ability of Cadence users to connect and collaborate. In addition to moving the community into cadence.com -- enabling single sign-on for community, Sourcelink and Cadence events -- the new site is organized around nine technology segments, giving you easy access to product information, training, forums and blogs. Some of the new features include:
  • Ability to respond to posts via e-mail
  • Technology-specific blogs
  • Latest Web 2.0 social networking capabilities

  • Friends lists
Visit the new Cadence Community today at www.cadence.com/community and join the discussions!

Registration note: Due to the scope of the enhancements and the new SSO registration system, we were not able to migrate existing cdnusers.org member accounts. So new registrations are required, but this enables a broader set of functionality we think you'll enjoy.

Forum note: Under the guidance of forum moderators, we have taken the 20+ cdnusers.org forums and consolidated them into 11 forums on the new site. Posts have been brought over so you can leverage that posting history. CDNusers forums will be set to read only starting 7/30, and cdnusers.org will be redirected to the new community on 8/4.

Hello,
I've been trying get a list of instances that used a design variable in a design via a SKILL script. It is like the "Variable -> Find" command in an Analog Artist, but it search for only one instance. If possible I would like to get a list of instances.

I know how to get a list of design variables used in a design,
asiGetDesignVarList( session )

Is there a direct command or a script to get a list of instances that used a design variable in a design?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Gilbert

Gilbert,

I was just looking up how I'd done this in some code I wrote last year to do this - but it turns out there was no direct function, and I was using some private SKILL function to do it. Please contact Cadence Customer Support, to ask for an enhancement for a public function to retrieve this information.

Otherwise, you'd have to visit all the instances in the design, looking at the CDF properties on each instance, and then using the ael.* functions to parse any expressions to pull out any variables found.

Regards,

Andrew.
