Generate layout.oa for an older version of a layout (sync managed) and store it in an un-managed folder.

chaitdwivedi

I have DesignSync managed layouts in my library. I need to get an oa object corresponding to an older version of the layout. For example in my workspace I have layout/layout.oa for current version. I need to have a layout_v1.1/layout.oa for the older version of the layout. 

I need to do this without populating or checking out the older version of the layout, so as to not disturb the version history of the cell or the time stamps. 

Is there any SKILL procedure that can handle access to older versions in Synchronicity?

  • No need to do this in SKILL - you can do it in the Library Manager. If you use the Right Mouse Button menu over the view you wish to copy an old version, then pick the "Version Info..."  menu item. Then there's a Copy button on the resulting form after you select the version you want - and you can choose where to copy it to:

    The corresponding UNIX command (and SKILL command) is gdmexport.

    Hi Andrew, 
    I am always getting the latest layout with gdmexport from command line. 

    I am using this command:
    gdmexport -destination temp/ -file layout/layout.oa -version 1.1 

    latest layout is version 1.12
    i get a layout.oa file in temp/ but this is corresponding to the latest version (1.12) and not 1.1

    This works for me. I did this:

    UNIX> gdmexport -destination opamp090/play/layout_v1_1 -lib opamp090.play:layout -version 1.1
    (gdm): [vsexport: Exported play/layout/master.tag to opamp090/play/layout_v1_1: revision 1.1.]
    (gdm): [vsexport: Exported play/layout/thumbnail_128x128.png to opamp090/play/layout_v1_1: revision 1.1.]
    (gdm): [vsexport: Exported play/layout/layout.oa to opamp090/play/layout_v1_1: revision 1.1.]

    (note, I'm not using DesignSync but the old (now unsupported) VersionSync that I use for testing sometimes). That shouldn't matter though.

    I'm using -lib to extract the whole cellView, but even using -file gdmexport tells me it's exporting 1.1 and if I copy it into a view that I can open, it's clearly the right version. So I've checked both the messages that gdmexport gives and also the resulting layout, and all looks OK.

    What does gdmexport tell you when you invoke it?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    I don't see the correct layout with -file option, but I do get the correct behavior with -lib option. 
    This will work for me. 

    Thanks for your help Slight smile
