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.

I just mentioned the underscore because the initial poster want to have
something like cellName_xxx.
To put an underscore '_' in the instNamePrefix field works fine
if you use fixed names for your instance prefix like AND, MOS etc.
But what I wanted to explain is if you want to use the more universal
approach with NLP labels like [@cellName], then the underscore will
not be evaluated correct (it doesn't work in my environment), or
I don't know how to implement this correct ;-).

Sorry, I'm sort of confused about this. From my (very, very limited)
knowledge, the NLP Labels are for display only, right? So to display
the instance name of a cell, you would add a label on your symbol -
something like [@instanceName] and when you instantiate a cell, the
symbol would display the correct instance name.
Is there something else about the NLP label that I am unaware of? Some
way to establish a prefix WITHOUT having to go through the "Edit
Cellview properties?

I think you might have to do [@cellName:%_]
(not sure, since I didn't test this). But if my memory is correct, that's
correct NLP speak for adding the _ at the end. However, I don't think
instNamePrefix can be an NLP expression? Perhaps I'm wrong?

do you have a *.tsg template that takes care of this automagically ?
