Ok, so after a lucky find I managed to answer my own question. Posting here for future reference and to help lost souls like me... Fist of all, the key word is CUSTOM TEXT. Second of all, kudos to this youtube video explaining the process of setting up a page with custo text. Third, the guide explaining how to use the text is "Concept HDL User Guide", section "Working with Custom Text" (it is amazing how finding the right key word opens a word of knowledge). The bottom line is the following: - edit the block editor symbol (file -> open, choose the correct library where the block is defined, pick the block name and click open) - in the editor, use PLACE -> CUSTOM TEXT. This will open a window where you can choose the VARIABLE to display and the FORMAT in which they will displayed. There is a list of variables pre-defined by Cadence, to be picked using the drop down menu. Every time one is selected it is added in the FORMAT string so that many variables can be concatenated (such as to create page X of Y). - as explained in the video, one can choose to create a customized variable such as . As long as it is within triangular brakets that will work. NOTE: no spaces allowed so use underscore. - Save and close. The block title in your design will now have those fields correctly filled. - To assign the value to just do TOOLS > OPTIONS > CUSTOM VARIABLE: here you will see the list of customized variables. Just find "MYVAR" and assign it the correct value. I hope this helps. Cheers, Paolo![]()
