Reaching parts in ulp

Question

Hi,

I am trying to write an ulp but ran into trouble.

Currently in the ULP I have an array containing strings with component names from the schematic. (compArray[i])

In my ULP I need to go into these (in the array) components and add attributes with a predefined name and value. How do I access each component and its property to add the attrubutes?

Have a nice day,

Best regards,

Tomas Bergh

ULP can only do read only functions on the design, but it can exit with

a string containing commands, so you simple have to build a large string

with all the commands that is required to change the attributes, and at

the end of the ULP, pass the commands with the function exit(string).

For multiple commands, separate them with semicolon.

I usually build a command array and exit(strjoin(commands,';'));
