how to copy a cellview from a different cell

kristin

Hello,

 I'm trying to copy an cellview to a new target cellview by

1. cv-car(selectedSet()) - this is from the same targeting cellview

2. cv=dbOpenCellViewByType(sameLib differentCell "layout" "maskLayout" "r") - this cell includes multi polygons

then use dbCopyFig(cv nil list(0:0 "R0" 1.0))

1 (objType=inst) works fine, but 2(objType=cellView) does not work. Anyone's help will be appreciated.

Thanks

K

  • Hi Kristin

    Just to clarify your question a litte, do you mean that you are trying to do the following?

    src=dbOpenCellViewByType("myLib" "myCell1" "layout")
    dest=dbOpenCellViewByType("myLib" "myCell2" "layout")
    dbCopyFig(src dest)

    If my understanding of your question is correct, then it will not work because dbCopyFig is not meant for copying cellviews (hence the word "Fig" in the cmd name). Please let me know if I have misunderstood your question. : )

    If you would like to copy the contents of an entire cellview to another existing cellview, perhaps you can do this:

    src=dbOpenCellViewByType("myLib" "myCell1" "layout")
    dest=dbOpenCellViewByType("myLib" "myCell2" "layout")

    geSelectAllFig(src)
    allFig=geGetSelSet(src)
    foreach(x allFig
       dbCopyFig(x dest)
    ) ;foreach

    dbSave(dest)
    dbClose(src)
    dbClose(dest)


    Best regards
