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?

    Hi Aaron,

    envSetVal("ui.thumbnails" "stopLevel" 'int 32)

    The default is -1, which means to use the default stopLevel (which is what it would have been if  you'd opened the layout in a window yourself; i.e. the stopLevel stored in the cellView, or in the library, or on the tech lib, or in the cdsenv - in that order) - but if you specify it as above, it will override the stopLevel for the duration of the thumbnail creation.

    This was implemented in IC615 ISR11 (6.1.5.500.11).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
