Open cellView in nograph

Telekito
Telekito over 13 years ago

 As I said in another post, recently I've begun to use IC6.1. I need open layout cellView, instead a pcell and close the cellView. In IC5 i used something like:

 geOpen(...)

dbCreateParamInstByMasterName(...)

ddDeleteObj() or dbClose()

In IC6 I'm trying to do the same, but i can't in nograph mode.  Any help?

    Well, you ought to be able to do the same thing, but presumably there's some kind of popup which you can't see. However, opening it graphically is rather pointless, so why not use:

    cv=dbOpenCellViewByName(libName cellName viewName "maskLayout" "a")

    instead of using geOpen() to open the design. You'll need to do a dbSave() at some point. This approach will work in both IC5141 and IC61X.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
