Hi,
I'm using Calibre XRC to generate post-extraction calibre views for simulation in Artist. The output of the extraction looks correct, except that it's having trouble matching the extracted layout pins to my symbols.
In particular, Calibre XRC is putting my symbol names into ALLCAPS, so that the resultant extracted calibre view doesn't correctly match my pre-existing symbol. For instance, if my symbol pins are "in" "out" "avdd" and "avss" (in my symbol, schematic, and layout), the pins created in the calibre view are "IN" "OUT" "AVDD" and "AVSS". This creates all sorts of problems in subsequent sims.
Is there any flag I can use to prevent this from happening? Might there be some flag in my xrc rulefile (provided by an outside vendor) that I need to disable?
As a side note, I create my pins in layout by adding a text label with the PN purpose. I do NOT use ctrl-P to create an actual pin blob. I do not know if this is a cause of the problem.
Thanks!! David
