delete figure of the pin, what else is needed for cleanup

In Virtuoso XL, through Skill, I am trying to automatically delete
pins (shapes with connectivity) that are old and no longer valid. I
delete the figure through skill script, but then the logical pin seems
to remain, and perhaps the terminal. Can I programmatically also get
rid of these? or do I have to instead to and update components and
nets? Thanks for any insight.

 

Hi,

When deleting the physical pins using a non-interactive skill, then
the connectivity is left as is since it is not forbidden in the
database to have terminals without a physical connection. If you want
to clean-up your database using skill, then I would propose the
following bit of skill:

; Catch the terminals without a physical pin
hangingTerminals=setof(x cv~>terminals null(x~>pins))
foreach(element hangingTerminals
; delete the hanging terminals
dbDeleteObject(element)
)

Hope this helps,
Riad.
