Parent page: Schematic Query Functions - Fields

Summary

This keyword is used in conjunction with the majority of the Membership Check keywords; it then signifies that each object which is returned by the associated Query is returned because of a property which is held by its parent object.

Syntax

This depends upon the Membership Check keyword that the Parent keyword is used in conjunction with, but it is always the first (and often the only) parameter to be specified for the Membership Check keyword concerned.

Example Usage

Object_ObjectKind(Parent) = 'Part' && Object_PartId(Parent) = ''
Returns all child objects of all single-part Part objects (all such part objects have a Current Part property of '').

Object_HasModel(Parent,'PCBLIB','DIP14',False) && Object_HasPin(Parent,'14','VCC')
Returns all child objects of all part objects that are linked to a Footprint Model which has a Name property of DIP14, when the part object also contains a pin object which has a Pin Designator property of 14 and a Name property of VCC.
