    Hi,

    I have a symbol view of a design and I want to find the pin Type
    associated with each pin using some skill function.
    Its like if i am in the GUI mode , then just by clicking on a pin and
    querying for properties , i can know whether its an output or input or
    inout pin .
    Can I find the same thing using some SKill Function ?

    Thanks & Regards,
    Kamal

    Kamal, everything in cadence is kept in the database, and it is
    relatively easy to pull it out with simple queries.

    Open a symbol you want to know about:

    type cv =geGetEditRep()

    this returns the pointer to the cell

    cv~>terminals

    this returns the list of terminals

    cv~>terminals~>?

    this returns the list of next level items in the database

    cv~>terminals~>direction

    this returns the directions of the terminals in the cell

    hope this helps
