Creating layout window when clicked on the custom menu in schematic

SureshT

Hello all, 

I want to create a new layout window when in clicked on the menu that i have created and inserted in schematic window, Please help me to do this.

I have searched on creating a layout window but i am not finding any thread on this. I am using Cadence Virtuoso Version IC6.1.7 currently.

Thank you.

    When I use geOpen() function it will only open when it is exists before I want to create when i don't have layout view created before.

    geOpen( ?window hiGetCurrentWindow( ) ?lib "mylib"
    ?cell "mycell" ?view "layout" ?viewType "maskLayout" ?mode "a" )

    Thank you.

    You could use ?mode "w" for that. Or use dbOpenCellVewByType() in mode "a" before calling the geOpen in mode a - for example:

    let((cv)
      cv=dbOpenCellViewByType("mylib" "mycell" "layout" "maskLayout" "a")
      geOpen( ?window hiGetCurrentWindow( ) ?lib "mylib"
        ?cell "mycell" ?view "layout" ?viewType "maskLayout" ?mode "a" )
      dbClose(cv)
    )
