db_get_pin_attribute()

Returns the attribute value of a given pin.

Syntax:

db_get_pin_attribute(pinHandle, pinAttribute);

where

pinHandle is the handle to a pin.

pinAttribute is the data for the pin, where:

• PIN_LOCATION = Location handle: for x,y and angle of pin
• PIN_INST_PTR = Instance handle: for instance owning this pin
• PIN_NODE_PTR = Node handle: for the node owning this pin
• PIN_NUMBER = Pin number; an integer
• PIN_PROPERTY = Head of property list
• PIN_NAME = Name of the pin
• PIN_DIRECTION = Pin direction: Input, output, or input/output
• PIN_WIRE_PTR = Wire handle for wire that is connected to pin, where the attributes for layer binding in layout are:
• PIN_MASK_NUMBER = A pin gets the mask number from the layer of the component it is attached to. Used to enforce layer compatibility when a trace connects to a component, or between traces or between components.
• PIN_BINDING_LIST = List of layers that this pin is allowed to attach to.
• PIN_INHERIT_BINDING = Behavior of connectivity in hierarchy, where: TRUE = a port pin, * FALSE = all other connections

Example:

decl pinHandle = db_get_instance_attribute(instHandle, INST_PIN_HEAD);
decl pinNo = db_get_pin_attribute(pinHandle, PIN_NUMBER);
