Updating existing layout in VXL using SKILL

Kaggarwa

I have a layout which is partially complete in VXL. The schematic got changed and I have few more instances to place in each layout. I see that this can be done using "Create ~> pick from schematic" and then selecting the instances.

Is there a way to replicate this process using SKILL , so that I dont have to open each layout to do this. I already have a routine that gives me the list of instances to be placed in each layout.

I tried to instantiate these using dbCreateInst() but then I dont get the flyline connectivity between the inital instances and the new one. Can someone please help ?

Regards,

kamala

  • hello Derek,

     Thanks for your guidelines.Looking inside lxHi commands, I came across another fucntion of UpdateComponentsAndNets. This is again interactive though , but now atleast I place all my instances using Skill and just do this update command and it attaches all the terms with proper net names etc and gives me the necessary connectivity flyline too. it seems there is no way currenty to run these commands in batch mode.

     Thanks,

    Kamala
