sync corners tool output with ADE outputs

MarkSummers

When the IC5.1 corners tool is first brought up from ADE window, the outputs from the ADE window

are present.  However I can't find which skill code does this.  Does anyone know what this is.  I would

like to be able to bring these outputs over after the tool has been started.

    Hi Mitchell,

    The whole point of the functions being private is that they aren't documented! It would be rather odd going to the effort of documenting them and then making them private.

    Generally speaking using private functions is not recommended and is risky - things may change in the code or you may be making assumptions which don't hold true. Since these are in IC5141 which is mature, and they have gone away completely in IC61 because corners is part of ADE XL, they are unlikely to change within the life of IC5141 (given that we are only making essential fixes in IC5141. But they should be used with caution and I would not over-do any work you're doing in this area (especially as it's not going to work in IC61 - although this problem becomes a non-problem in IC61 anyway).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
