Hi,
In the schematic composer when the user does instantiating a symbol the
instance name is Ixxx by default. Is it possible to modify this
behaviour so that the instance name is cellName_xxx. ( here cellName is
the cellName of the instance master)

Thanks
regards,
Suresh J

Just to clarify - you don't "need" to put a "_" at the end of the
instance name prefix to make this concept work. Just responding to
Bernd's comment about figuring out how to put an underscore at the end
of the prefix...

# How to Change the default Instance Name Prefix

To change the default instance name prefix, which is the capital letter "I" Open
the composer symbol editor for the symbol for which you will change the default
instance name prefix. Select the Edit Properties Cellview command. The Edit
Cellview Properties form appears. Show the system properties on the form by
choosing System. Change the instNamePrefix property. The default is the capital
letter "I". The new name must be a string.
When you place new instances of this same symbol, the new prefix name appears.

I tried it with NLP labels like
[@cellName] it works, but don't know how to get
the '_' in there.

You need to put the "_" as the last character in the "Instance Name
Prefix field". So an AND gate's prefix for instance could look like
"and_" and all subsequent instances will be named and_0, and_1 etc.
