StrmOut from Virtual Memory

Yaosan

I would like to make some modifications to my cellview in scratch view mode and stream that out directly from virtual memory. Is there a way for me to do it using SKILL i.e. without using the GUI (File > Export > Stream...)?

Thanks in advance!

  • Hi Andrew,

    I'm not sure when we're moving to IC614 but if it's already released then it probably won't be long before we can start using it.

    I have another question that are slightly unrelated. What is the proper way of working in scratch view mode? Should I create a new view in scratch mode and copy over the object one by one before I start doing the modification I need? This seems to be quite troublesome with all the new blockages, vias and other OA objects listed under different property of cellviews.

    I tried opening an existing, opened cellview in scratch mode, hoping it will be a new copy i.e. with new dbID that exists only in memory, but somehow it shares the same cellview ID as the original opened cellview. I also tried to use dbCopyCellView() but it won't let me copy to the scratch view unless I specify the overwrite flag, which will write the scratch view to disk, defeating the purpose of having one in the first place.
