Opening layout view opens schematic view

egolowen

Hi,

I am trying to open a layout using the following command:
cv_layout = dbOpenCellViewByType("<lib name>" "<cell name>" "layout" "maskLayout" "a")

however once the layout is opened, the schematic view of the cell is also opened. Is there a way to prevent this?

Thanks,
Elizabeth

  • Werner,

    This will not happen if you call dbOpenCellViewByType. It would happen if you use deOpen to open it graphically, but application-specific settings like this will not happen at the db layer.

    The only way I can think of which would cause this is if you've got some kind of "dd" trigger registered which is doing the opening of the schematic. It seems highly unlikely to me though.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
