Search,select and then make cell?

jazzmatazz
Hello guys ,

Here is my problem. I wanna  to do hierarchically search for cell with certain criterias then to select it/ 'em and to make new cell only with this cell/s ,but I know only how to achieve the first step. I use procedural function for hierarchically search

   leSearchHierarchy( cv,bbox ... etc. )

Which returned me a list of all objects that meet the object type and search criteria. That's OK but  then I don't  know how to use this answer and to make new cell with this objects?

Regards,
Jazzmatazz

    wanted=setof(instPath dbInstQuery(cv cv~>bBox 0 32) if(listp(instPath) car(last(instPath)) instPath)~>cellName=="probe")
    newCv=dbOpenCellViewByType("newLib" "newCell" "layout" "maskLayout" "w")
    foreach(instPath wanted dbCopyFig(if(listp(instPath) car(last(instPath)) instPath) newCv dbGetHierPathTransform(instPath)))
    dbSave(newCv)
    dbClose(newCv)

    Sorry it's not prettily formatted - this was just from something I typed into the CIW to test that it worked OK...

    You should be able to wrap that up in a procedure to give you what you want. It might not be the most efficient in a really large design because it is returning every instance in the design hierarchy prior to filtering with setof, but hopefully it's OK. The alternative algorithm to compare against would be to do a recursive traversal of the hierarchy, and then only deal with the matches (the potentially expensive part in the above approach is actually returning the path lists for each occurrence, when most may get thrown away).
