Viewed Layers

John,

procedure(JWgetUsedVisibleValidLayers(@optional (cv geGetEditCellView()))
  let(((tf techGetTechFile(cv)))
    setof(lp foreach(mapcar lpp cv~>lpps list(lpp~>layerName lpp~>purpose))
      leIsLayerValid(lp tf) && leIsLayerVisible(lp tf)
    )
  )
)

Will do what you want. cv~>lpps will give you the list of layer-purpose pair objects used in this cellView or anything instantiated (will only appear once the subcells have been loaded though - similar to the palette).

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Is there a way to pipe or print the output in to a file instead of CIW?

Assuming you're talking about JWgetUsedVisibleValidLayers in the 9 year old post above, then this doesn't print anything - it simply is a function that returns a list of lists. You can choose to do with that whatever you want - if you want it in a text file, you could just do:

procedure(JWreportUsedVisibleValidLayers(fileName @optional (cv geGetEditCellView()) "td")
  let((prt)
    if(prt=outfile(fileName) then
      foreach(lpp JWgetUsedVisibleValidLayers(cv)
        fprintf(prt "%s %s\n" car(lpp) cadr(lpp))
      )
      close(prt)
    else
      error("JWreportUsedVisibleValidLayers: could not write to file %L\n" fileName)
    )
 )
)

Then use: JWreportUsedVisibleValidLayers("./dump.txt")

Andrew.
