Answers Database CADENCE CONCEPT: Attaching multiple LOC constraints / properties / attributes to XBLOX components Record #650 Product Family: Software Product Line: Cadence Product Part: concept Problem Title: CADENCE CONCEPT: Attaching multiple LOC constraints / properties / attributes to XBLOX components Problem Description: Urgency: standard General Description: CADENCE CONCEPT: How to attach multiple LOC constraints / properties / attributes to XBLOX components Solution 1: In the XNF file that you input to XBLOX, properties attached to XBLOX modules need to have an "=" sign prepended in front of them, otherwise XBLOX ignores them.       For example: SYM, symbolname, INPUTS ,DEF=BLOX, =ENCODING=UBIN, =BOUNDS=2:0,=LOC[0]=P6, =LOC[1]=P5, =LOC[2]=P4 =LOC[2]=p4, =LOC[1]=p5 To implement this in a Concept schematic, you need to specify a property name of "LOCS". The value of the property is then the list of location constraints. Each of these LOC[i] constraints must have an "=" sign in front of it:       Example:       property name property value       ------------- -------------- LOCS =LOC[2]=p4, =LOC[1]=p5, =LOC[0]=p6 End of Record #650 - Last Modified: 08/16/97 16:20
