Update on Cadence Support Case 32027326 - Using the Convert pin to text. After being escalated all the way to R and D, the answer is not is the default to convert on all layers but it is not even possible to force conversion on only the top layer. IBM still insists that the dfault is top layer only and that there is no problem. -----Original Message----- From: Al Kunde Hello Matthew and Russell, I have a reply from R&D on the question of how PIPO will handle "Change Pins to Text" in hierarchy. -------------Snip------------- At present there is no such method to use this option "Convert pin to text" selectively for a particular cell view. If this option is used, it will apply to all the cell views which are translated. -----------End Snip----------- So with this answer the function is working as expected. If you translate flat or a single cell view you will only get the pins on that level. If you send a hierarchal design through this option you will convert the pins at all levels. This may not have been the answer that you were looking for but now we understand how the option works. Regards, Al
