lxCheckAgainstSource() command query

kssbaig

Hi Andrew, 

I am using ICADV18.1 ISR10 and I have a query related to lxCheckAgainstSource command.

lxCheckAgainstSource(
d_schCellViewID
d_layCellViewID
[ ?masterDiff { t | nil } ] [ ?paramDiff { t | nil } ] [ ?unboundInsts { t | nil } ] [ ?connectivity { t | nil } ] [ ?maxDiffsLimit x_maxDiffsLimit ] [ ?logFileName t_logFileName ] [ ?appendToLog { t | nil } ] [ ?nameDiff { t | nil } ] [ ?dummyDiff { t | nil } ] [ ?busTermDiff { t | nil } ] [ ?virtualHierDiff { t | nil } ] ) = t / nil



 

The command has almost all options in the form, except "Open workspace", (highlighted in red in the above picture)

The "Open workspace" option in the form opens "CAS" workspace and enables the CAS tab in the Annotation Browser, as shown below:



I can se the CAS workspace using the following command
deSetWorkspace(geGetEditCellViewWindow(cv) "CAS")

But I cannot enable the CAS tab in the Annotation Browser. How can I enable the "CAS" tab in the annotation browser, after running lxCheckAgainstSource command?

  • I found out the reason. I have the following in my .cdsinit
    envSetVal("layoutXL" "lxSchematicDefaultApp" 'cyclic "None")

    This would prevent opening the schematic, automatically after opening Layout in XL mode. I have it just to speed up the time for opening layout. 

    As the schematic is not open, the schematic.cxt file didn't load into virtuoso. This might have caused lxCheckAgainstSource() command to not display the results in "Annonation Browser" tab. 

    After I open the layout, with corresponding schematic, I am able to see the CAS tab after running the lxCheckAgainstSource() command.
