Summary
Returns all pad and via objects whose Library property complies with the Query.
Syntax
PadViaLibrary = PadViaLibrary_String
PadViaLibrary_String must be a string that:
- Targets pads/vias from the required Pad Via Template Library. In this case, the string should target that library name (e.g. 'ExamplePVLib.PvLib').
- Targets pads/vias from the local template library. In this case, the '<Local>' string must be used.
Example Usage
PadViaLibrary = '<Local>'
Returns all pad and via objects whose Library property is <Local>.
PadViaLibrary = 'ExamplePVLib.PvLib'
Returns all pad and via objects whose Library property is ExamplePVLib.PvLib.
PadViaLibrary Like '*PVLib'
Returns all pad and via objects whose Library property ends in PVLib. For example, pads/vias placed from the template library ExamplePVLib.PvLib would be returned using this expression.
Tips
- The Library property is only defined for pad and via objects.
- The single quote characters (') at the start and end of
PadViaLibrary_Stringare mandatory.
