Hi all,

I would like to ask, how to swap instances in layout,

given the instance's name.  For example,  I would like to

swap the instances |M34  to |M335, how to do that in SKILL ?  

 

Thanks in advance,

Marbs

    Hi Marbs

    Please load it in ciw using:

    load "swapinst.il"

    After loading it, enter the following in ciw:

    CCSswapInst("|M123" "|M456")

    By the way, when posting a question, it would be great if you can state the specific version of software which you are using so that we can come up with the best solution for you. : )  Tool versions can be obtained using commands such as:

    unix>icfb -W
    unix>icms -W
    unix>virtuoso -W
    unix>assura -W
    unix>spectre -W
    unix>ultrasim -W
    unix>vcar -W
    unix>qrc -version
    unix>ncsim -version
    unix>encounter -version
    unix>eps -version

    Best regards
    Quek
