Cadence library and cell views

Pyroblast

Hi guys,

I have a question regarding the hierarchy of cells.

Image that you have a library and inside that library you have several cells in which, two or three, lets say, are like top cells and then you have a bunch of other cells that are inside (with their respective symbol) of the top cell, and inside of some of this cells you have other cells (don't forget, all of them inside the same library), that is: Cell1, Cell2, Cell3 are top cells. Then you have Cell 1.1, Cell 1.2, Cell3.1. So inside Cell 1 you have Cell 1.1 and 1.2 and inside of cell3 you have cell3.1 and so on.

By chance, Cadence has any tool to show you in some way (like a tree structure or just a file with some pointers/paths) which cell is the top and then their childs?

Regards.

    Hello Andrew. I want to thank you for the reply. It was a big help. I haven't noticed that there was a "Print Hierarchy Tree" option in the CIW window.

    By the way, can you recommend me any tutorial or anything that I could read to learn a bit more about the Cadence Software? I know it is a question a bit vague, but what I want to learn is how to use better the Cadence Software in general, the most used options. For example, printing the hierarchy tree is one of these things. Other might be when you are copying a cell from other library how to check if everything went well, if there are no errors and so. Do you understand what I mean? It is like a general knowledge with the software to help you administrate libraries, cells, do check, search for errors, etc.

    Thank you in advance.
