How to lock the cell placement

bharath2k4er

Hi, 

can someone help in locking the placement of the Instance (should not be able to move the instance once i lock the position) in the virtuoso layout editor using skill..

It is equvivalent to this command SET_OBJECT_FIXED_EDIT(GET_SELECTION) 1 (1 means postion fixed, 0 means postion is notfixed).This command is available in the IC compiler (ICC tool). 

 

Thanks for your support,

Bharath.

  •  Hi Bharath,

    You cannot. In many cases, not in this one, the function is implemented in C not SKILL and therefore not viewable in a SKILL.environment. For Cadence SKILL functions that are implemented in SKILL themselves, these are part of Cadence's Intellectual Property and therefore are protected from being readable by the end users.

    This may not be the answer that you wanted to hear, but I hope that it did at least answer your question.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
