Finding ViewTypes

ddr71m

 Hi,

 i intend to copy verilog view of a schematic.....to do so i am using dbopenCellViewByType() but i don't know the view type for the same(for schematic--schematic,layout--maskLayout,symbol--schematicsymbol)....then i am using dbCopyCellView() but 

 Scell_veri=dbOpenCellViewByType("LibName" "CellName" "veriloga" "<ViewType>")

inplace of ViewType i used "verilog", "veriloga","VerilogA" but it returns --

WARNING* (DB-270208): dbOpenCellViewByType: unrecognized database viewType 'veriloga'

 

Now, i am in a fix...

 

Thanks

  • If your aim is to copy the cellView, using dbOpenCellView/dbCopyCellView is the wrong way to do it for textual views. The db functions are purely for opening cellViews with a database (i.e a CDB or OA database). Now in fact there is a database in the veriloga view, sometimes known as the "shadow" database, which is used to store information about hierarchy and terminals. However, this is not the master data for this cellView, so if you were to open it (leaving the viewType as "") and copy it, you would not get the textual representation as well.

    You should use ccpCopy to copy such views.

  • Thanks  Andrew

    your reply was immensely helpful,i was able to copy verilog view

  • Hi Andrew,

    ccpcopy works fine if i am copying cells from lib1 to lib2 if both are attached to same technology libraries but if they are attached to two different technologies then copy doesn't happens...is there any option to force the copy by ccpcopy.

  • You may have to use this UNIX env var:

    setenv CCP_DISABLE_DFII_CHECKER all

    before starting virtuoso.

  • Hi,

     

    I want  to copy cells(having views as schematic.bckup..etc) with only those views which i specify as a collection of strings in a list using ccpcopy and i am not able to copy, also can you please tell what is the difference between----

    [ l_copyViewTypeList ]

    [ l_copyViewNameList ]

    Also,ccpcopy checks out 111 licensce each time copy is done is there any way to skip this check....

  • View types are the type of the data (e.g. maskLayout, schematicSymbol etc) where as the view name is what the view is actually called. This way you can get it to copy all of a particular view type regardless of what the view names are called - or vice versa.

    Is this the same question as in the comp.cad.cadence newsgroup question - http://goo.gl/b4SwX

    If so, I suggested creating a service request for the reason why it takes a 111 license each time (that surprises me).

    Regards,

    Andrew.

     

  •  Thanks Andrew, I faced the issue of ccp copy checking the 111 license and as suggested i will raise a service request for this
