Selective Edit in Place

SkVlsi

I want to do edit in place to a particular cell some 2 or 4 level down . Can we use leHiEditInPlace() in such a  way that i pass the db is or cell name and the function will do edit in place to that particular place. Any suggesition  how to implement it ??

thanks in advance  

  • First of all, leHiEditInPlace allows you to click on a shape several layers down in the hierarchy, and it will then edit in place the cellView that contains that shape. So maybe that does what you want.

    Alternatively you could use leEditInPlace or deEditInPlace to procedurally tell it which hierarchical path you want to edit (the arguments are specified in a different way - so read the documentation of each to determine which is most suitable for your needs).

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.

  • thanks Andrew for suggestion, when i tried using leEditInPlace( hiGetCurrentWindow() Scel) i got this error *Error* car: argument #1 should be a list (type template = "l") here Scel is a list of db id of cell ((db:187886520) (db:188421888)) Can you suggest me where i am get wrong ??

  •  Hi,

    The documentation suggests in the example the following:

    leEditInPlace( hiGetCurrentWindow() ((db:12082048 0 0 0) (db:13240512 0 1 2) (db:13933796 0 0 0)) )

    But perhaps it should be something a little more like:

    leEditInPlace( hiGetCurrentWindow() list(list(topInst 0 0 0) list(sub1Inst 0 1 2) list(sub2Inst 0 0 0)) )

    Where topInst, sub1Inst, and sub2Inst are the appropriate database ID's stored in variables.

    Can you try something like the above?

    Regards,

    Lawrence.

  • Thanks Lawrence,

    Your suggesition works perfectly!
