Hi Varun,

 

It depends what you want to do with the determined total page count
value.

There is a built in variable called TOTAL_DESIGN_SHEETS which you can
say add to a page format symbol (using Text->Custom text) to show "sheet
x of y" information, where x would be the variable CURRENT_DESIGN_SHEET.
I am not sure if you can access these variables for anything else
though.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Total number of pages in a hierarchical design

 

Folks,

 

Is there a way to programmatically determine the total number of pages
in a hierarchical design in Allegro Design Entry HDL v16.3?  

 

Counting page files in sch_1 folder is not an option since it won't
work, if the hierarchical symbol is instantiated more than once. Ideas
are appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Varun
