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

  • Quek,

    What I’m trying to do is to

        build a sub mosaic as “myLib” “myCell1” “layout”, where has multi layers, shapes and polygons
        in the pcell “myLib” “dest” “layout”, read in src=dbOpenCellViewByType(“myLib” “myCell1” "layout" "maskLayout" "r"),

    to build a new cell dest by a switch (either on or off), with the “myLib” “meCell1” specified in the CDF entry. I re-try the foolowing, that seems to be working.

                  cdfId = cdfGetInstCDF(src)

                  offsetX = evalstring(cdfFindParamByName(cdfId "OffsetX")~>value)*1e6

                  offsetY = evalstring(cdfFindParamByName(cdfId "OffsetY")~>value)*1e6

      newShape = dbCreateSimpleMosaic(cvId src nil offsetX:offsetY "R90" 1 1 1 1)

    However, the problem is that I need to load the code each time when re-opening the cellview that has the pcell, even though the switch is on. If I change the offset values, the session crashed.

    Is there any better way to do, if I also want to be able to set offsets/oritations that specified by CDF?

    Thanks
