Selecting a lot of objects in Virtuoso Layout Editor, Cadence 5141.

TiNat
Hello. I use Cadence 5141. In Virtuoso Layout Editor I want replace library of elements in layout drsign. Use command  Search... and  then option replace.  In case number of elements, for example,  70000, tool select them  ~10 seconds,  In case number of elements 120000, then tool need more time, but  negligible: ~30 seconds. But   In case number of elements 180000 (for example), then cadence doesn't response. I wait one hour, but elements didn't select, and memory in computer does't busy. Somebody can give a hint, is it a bug of Cadence, or tool have a limit of selected elements. Can I solve this problem?
Thanks for your answers.
Best regards.

  • Thank you, Andrew. I understand, that for large projects (where a lot of objects ) it is necessary to use only SKILL, not GUI. I have solved my problem using next SKILL:
    ih = car(setof( instHead cv~>instHeaders instHead~>libName == "projlib" && instHead~>cellName == "pmos"))
    dbSetInstHeaderMasterName(ih "new_projlib" ih~>cellName ih~>viewName)
    instead of commands Search... and then replace.
