SKILL to modify layout parameter

40Ford

I have written SKILL functions to change or add parameters to a cellView. What I need to do now is grab the value of a parameter from a schematic and copy that value to the corresponding layout.

The parameter is called "connectivity" and I only want to change the value in cell "option". Yes, "option" is the cellName.

I know how to grab and instance and grab the property in SKILL but what I can't understand is how to know I'm getting the corresponding layout view for that instance.

 Any suggestions?

  •  It is tricky. For now I am assuming that the baseName (instance name in the views) are in line. I might be able to get something to work with that assumption. Definitely not a bullet proof method but that's my approach until someone with more skill than me comes across with a better suggestion.

     Thanks again,

    Cheers,
