How to change library name & cell name by SKILL

ajuvolkov

Hello.

I need to change library name and cell name in all instances of the project.

See below simple example, when I attempt to change this parameter:

w = hiGetCurrentWindow()
cv = geGetWindowCellView(w)

inst=nthelem(1 cv~>instances)
inst~>libName="NEW_PROCESS"

 

but this returned:

*Error* setSGq: dbSetq: Can not set attribute - libName

 

How can I change this parameter?

  • Hi,

    In addition to what Andrew has said, it may be more efficient to change the instHeader for the instances that you want to all change to a new master.  Find the instHeader, something like:

    ih = car(setof( instHead cv~>instHeaders instHead~>libName == "origLibName" && instHead~>cellName == "origCellName")

    dbSetInstHeaderMasterName(ih "NEW_PROCESS" ih~>cellName ih~>viewName)

    [I have not tested the above code, but it should work].  If the cell names are different, then you might want to have a mapping table for the from-to name mappings.  There are a few solutions in SourceLink for doing this too, for example:

    Solution 11300258
    Solution 11256326
    Solution 11406650
    Solution 11330954
    Solution 11330948
    Solution 11330942

    Take a look at the last two in particular, since they use the instHeader approach. Many of these will change multiple cells, or even a whole library. Did you look on SourceLink?

    If you need to re-reference all the cells to the same new library, why don't you use Edit->Rename Reference Library from the Library Manager menus?

    Regards,
