Hi,

I was trying to export layout view into a .bnp file using skill function :

 

Lib="TEST_lib"

cellname="TEST_CELL"


wi=geOpen( ?lib Lib ?cell cellname ?view "layout" ?viewType "maskLayout" ?mode "r")

hiExportImage(?fileName cellname)

but it is flagging following error while executing the command in a stretch.

*Error* _hiExportImage: Unable to allocate image of size (1010851,1621501) 

Its working fine when loading line by line.

Can any one please help?

    I encountered the same error when I used the method in soultion 11617718.

    I'm running IC615

    Thankfully your suggestion cleaned things up. The neverCurrentWindow was a nice touch!

    Might I recommend to update that solution with this code?

    Regards,

    Aaron
