rename cells automatically with "Update Instance" selected

marcop

 Hi all,

I need to rename a lot of cells and change also the references from old cell to new ones.

From Library Manager it is present "Rename Cell" with Update Instance that is the right function, but I did't find skill code to do the operation automatically.

 

 Thanks

    Hi Marco,

    You can use the ccp* functions combined with the gdm* functions to achieve this.  For example there is a ccpCopy function that can perform a copy followed by an update operation. Here is a snippet taken from my CCShierCopyCell.il that can be found on SourceLink:

    ccpCopy(
          specList        ;; source spec list
          destSpecList        ;; destination spec list
          nil            ;; overwrite?
          'CCP_NO_EXPAND    ;; expandflag
          nil            ;; copyViewType list
          nil            ;; copyViewName list
          ""            ;; viewName regular expression
          "CDBA"        ;; name space referring to previous 2 arguments
          'CCP_UPDATE_DESTLIB_ONLY    ;; whatToUpdate
          )

     Get the code here or here

    Also, check the documentation for the ccpCopy(), ccpExpandDesign(), gdmCreateSpec(), gdmCreateSpecList(), gdmAddSpecToSpecList(), gdmResetSpecList() and gdmInspectSpec() SKILL functions.

     I hope this helps you.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
