Open config view schematic through skill

markbeck

 I'm trying to figure out how to open a config view schematic.

I can use deOpenCellView("Lib" "cell" "config" "config"), but that gives me a popup which I then have to click 'ok' before the config schematic opens.

I can use hiFormDone(hiGetCurrentForm()) to make the popup go away, but it's causing me scripting headaches and it's quite kludgey. I'd much rather directly open the config schematic.

deOpen and geOpen give me similar behavior.

Does anyone out there know how to do this?

     Excellent. I thought I had tried using the configL in the fileSpec before, but I must have done something wrong.

    I had just found another 'kludgy' way to get a similar results, before checking the website:

    w_window = hiOpenWindow()
    geOpen(?window w_window ?lib t_lib ?cell t_cell ?view "schematic" ?viewType "schematic")
       when( hdbIsConfig(t_lib t_cell "config")            
          h_config = hdbOpen(t_lib t_cell "config" "r")                      
          deSetConfigId(w_window h_config) ; set window's config
       ); when       

    But your method is more what I was looking for.

    Thanks!
