Equivalent to instancesLastChanged in OA

Eric L14

Hello,

 The instancesLastChanged cellview property is no more available in OA. In CDB, I use this property in order to know if a schematic is newer than a layout (that means layout should be updated and layout checks should be done).

How having this information in OA ?

Thanks

 

Eric

     Hi Eric,

    there is a lastSchematicExtraction time property on the cellview, you might use this if comparing with the layout?  Various properties moved to being counters in OA, so for example there is a counter each for "schGeometryLastUpdated" and "connectivityLastUpdated", and a function dbGetCellViewCounter() will retrieve the current cellview counter value, so this way you know if the schematic is modified with respect to its counter.  Another function dbIsConnCurrent() can be used to discover if the schematic connectivity is up-to-date.

    This may not answer your question, but I hope the information helps you.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
