Hi I'm a new comer for SKILL. My question is what are the attributes of object type Cellview?

Are there any documentation describing the object types used in SKILL? 

I cannot find the information on this topic in the local documentation in my department. Thanks a lot.

  • I am a layout engineer and not a CAD programmer, but wanted to add these coarse tips and generalities that you may find helpful:

    1. It is very strict in its syntax like C programming (not forgiving like Perl).

    2. It is like LISP in its data and its structure, although it has the optional C like syntax. I went through part of a LISP book and it really helped me (not necessary but I found it helpful).

    3. Finally, you have to be very aware of what the API functions need for inputs and what they return (or side affects).

    4. Basically thinking of just about everything as objects, and having properties and pointing to other objects, their properties and values. Try to find The SKILL CellView Informational Model (nice snapshot of this).

    The other links provided by skillUser are very good.
