Copying cellviews that are saved ADE states?

SharksFan

Hi All,

I have a routine that is doing cellview operations using dbOpenCellViewByType that fails when it encounters a cellview that is a saved ADE state.

My code is this:
(setq origCV (dbOpenCellViewByType originLib (getq cell name) (getq view name) "" "r"))
(setq destCV (dbCopyCellView origCV destLib destCellview (getq view name) nil nil nil))

How do I copy these ADE saved states?

Is there a way to get the cellview Id using something other than dbOpenCellViewByType?

There's nothing graphical going on, so I can't use those methods to get the cellview Id.

Any and all help is appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks Andrew,

    Now, I have a related question after trying to use the ccpCopy function combined with the gdm* functions.

    I did this (which I thought looked reasonable):

    (setq originSpecLst (gdmCreateSpecList))
    (setq destSpecLst (gdmCreateSpecList))
    (gdmAddSpecToSpecList (gdmCreateSpec originLib (getq cell name) (getq view name) "" "CDBA") originSpecLst)
    (gdmAddSpecToSpecList (gdmCreateSpec destLib destCellview (getq view name) "" "CDBA") destSpecLst)
    (ccpCopy originSpecLst destSpecLst nil 'CCP_NO_EXPAND)

     But it gives me the following warning and does not perform the copy:

    *WARNING* (ccpiBuildDestSpeclist) The destination list contains illegal spec object.The destination spec must be either a libFile or cellFile or viewFile, if the expand option is CCP_NO_EXPAND.

    I don't see what is wrong here.  I used the gdmResetSpecList and then gdmInspectSpec with gdmNextFromSpecList to inspect that the gdmSpecList was as I expected and it returned answers of the form ("libNameA" "cellNameA" "viewNameA" nil) for both mygdmSpecLists.  That looked the viewFile spec to me...

     

    Any ideas anyone?
