How to add prefix to all instances

Hi All,I need a SKILL code for adding prefix or suffix to a top-cell and to all its instances.For eg: I have a Top cell ( INV)  and it has subcells called as a instances. INV hierarchy :  INV-> INV_PMOS-> INV_NMOS So, I want to add some prefix/suffix for all the cells in the hierarchy. Ex: myprefix_INV->myprefix_INV_PMOS-> myprefix_INV_NMOS Thanks,Maven.

    Thanks Quek,

    Your link gave me an idea to approach the problem.

    But the solution in the COS used ddGetObj() function which cannot traverse to the instances of a cell.

    So i used dbOpenCellVeiwByType() to get instances but its not effective could not complete the program.

    Could you suggest me a function which can traverse through libname~>cellname~>instances for a given libname and cellname.

     (dont tell me geEditCellView())

    If i can get that then my script is done.

    Thanks,

    Maven.
