Setting port order of symbol view using SKILL

Hi,

Is it possible to set the port order of a symbol view using SKILL?

Right now, every time ports get added, I have to go into the symbol viewer and then menu Edit -> Properties -> Port Order to check/change the port order. I'd rather do it in batch for a whole lot of cells by using a SKILL script.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sjoerd,

Most of the checks for portOrder inconsistencies are rather redundant nowadays in my opinion (I have a request to turn them all off) - but for now, the way to control this is to set the portOrder cellView property.

So:

cv=dbOpenCellViewByType(lib cell view viewType "a")
cv~>portOrder=list("a" "b" "c") ; whatever the list of port names is that you want.

Or remove the property everywhere - that will also clean things up. Typically it's only used by the Verilog netlister anyway, and unless this is a leaf cell, there's no particular need to control the order.

Regards,

Andrew.
