Subject: How Can I Map From A Hierarchical Path To A Design Name?
John,
I have a uniquified, hierarchical design. I would like to start with
a path to a cell
"h2u1/h3u4/lh_out_reg"
and figure out which design it is in so I can change my current_design
to it. Conceptually, I want to
cd "h2u1/h3u4".
Is there a simple way to go back and forth between paths and design
names? I have tried the current_instance command, but I really need
to cd between designs, not instances. I want to take the path of a
gate or a net, cd to the design containing it, then run a script that
adds and deletes nets and cells. I can only do these commands in the
design itself.
