    Hi Andrew,

    As in graphic mode, we open Layout GXL from Schematic window by using Launch->Layout GXL and it opens the layout window. Now we click the icon "Generate all from source" and it opens the form and then after modifying a little it places the cells/devices. 

    So basically I want to create layout view from schematic view automatically in non graphic mode. So like I create a code and run it and it will automatically create a layout from schematic and place the cells. 

    I am just trying to automate this steps. I am new to skill. I will really appreciate your expert guidance on this. 

    Thanks !
