get instance terminals to print as pins in AMS

I am trying to get instance nets to netlist as terminals in AMS. I
want to use the amsPrintIO function but I need to create an
amsobject. I have the terminal name that I want to use but don't know
how to create the amsobject. Any ideas?

*Error* amsPrintIO: argument #2 should be amsobject (type template =
"AA") - "gnd!"

(defun MYIONetProc ( formatterId cellViewId @optional xx)
foreach(inst cellViewId~>id~>instances
when(car(inst~>instTerms~>net~>name)
iostruct=car(inst~>instTerms~>net~>name)
amsPrintIO(formatterId iostruct )
) ; when
) ; foreach

;(foreach io (sort cellViewId->IOs (lambda (a b) (alphalessp a->name
b->name)))
; (amsPrintIO formatterId io)
; amsPrint(formatterId io~>attributes)
; ) ; foreach

t
) ; defun

;; Set up the custom netlist procedure
netId = amsGetNetlister()
vlog = netId->vlog
vlog->iosProc = 'MYIONetProc

Hi Erik,

I think the only way to get an IO object is via cellViewId->IOs . In fact I
don't think there's any way to create amsobjects yourself - it is only ever done
by the formatter itself.

Can you not do what you want by using amsPrint() instead?

Andrew.
