Hi Andrew, My apologies for this late reply. The dbWriteSkill is exactly what I was looking for. And I do understand the risks with this procedure, and I don't use (or plan to use) this procedure to replicate a design. The reason for using it is simple: I have written a symbol pcell, in which I add labels to print netnames to pins (the cdsTerm(G) thing). However, no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to work: netnames were not printed in the schematic. Therefor I wanted to look at how something like this would have been done in a symbol that has those cdsTerm things, and which work. So by looking at code that generates a symbol that includes printing netnames, I thought I would be able to get it to work. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work. So i have to dig a little deeper to get this to work. In the screenshot you'll see a schematic of a transistor from the PDK (bottom) and my device (top). As you can see, the PDK version has the netnames printed (the whitish letters), whereas my own version doesn't. This is how it's done in the dbWriteSkill version of the PDK device: dbD_0x54b08ba7 = dbCreateLabel(dbD_0x54b0c59a list(237 248) 3.062500e-01:-8.750000e-02 "cdsTerm(\"G\")" "lowerLeft" "R0" "stick" 5.000000e-02) dbD_0x54b08ba7~>isDrafted = t dbD_0x54b08ba7~>isOverbar = nil dbD_0x54b08ba7~>isVisible = t dbD_0x54b08ba7~>labelType = "ILLabel" This is how I do it: labelId = dbCreateLabel( cvId list( "annotate" "drawing8" ) xCoord:yCoord "cdsTerm(\"G\")" "upperRight" "R0" "stick" 0.05 ) labelId~>isDrafted = t labelId~>isOverbar = nil labelId~>isVisible = t labelId~>labelType = "ILLabel" If I can't get it to work, I'll file a ticket at support. Thanks for your support. With kind regards, Sjoerd
