Renumerating instances in Cadence Virtuoso
During design, we are adding and deleting instances multiple times, so the instance names becomes wild like: R556
or C132. This makes it hard to track them during layout and extraction as well as complicates the communication
between schematic and layout engineers:
Renumbering instances (before)
Luckily, there is a standard function in Cadence Virtuoso, that alows us to renumerate instances once the design is complete. To do that, simply navigate to Edit → Renumber Instances:
Renumbering instances (after)
All instances in the schematic are renumbered, filling the gaps in naming!
