[PCB_FORUM] Re: Rename schematic cell in Allegro Design Entry HDL

well, we are not using subdesigns.

It is just a simple hierarchical block we want to rename.
it might work wit the cdscopyshell (ccpRename), but it seems that neither
the aplpication nor the skill functions are available on Windows platform

The only way I can think of is to use the subdesign option in the
packager..

you have to use the property SUBDESIGN_SUFFIX.
So if the SUBDESIGN_SUFFIX is set to ROM, then you can get R1_ROM, R2_ROM
etc.
