Delete a Layout cell using skill

J Wilwert
J Wilwert over 14 years ago

Hi,

I need a few lines of skill code to delete a layout cell.  This a "scratch" cell which I no longer need and I just want to clean up the library.  I know the name of the library, cell, and view and the cell is closed, purged, and is not under any data management control - truely a "scratch" cell.

 This should be a real simple task - I just have not been able to locate the skill function for this cell delete.

 Many THANKS! in advance,

John Wilwert

    You need to use a dd command:

    ddDeleteObj(ddGetObj(libName cellName viewName))
