Search and Replace

Hi Experts,

Does ic5141 have any S&R utlility? If yes where can I find it?

I also need a SKILL script that would place all the symbols in a library into one schematic. Here is the description of what I need:

The script will put the symbols for all IP’s in a schematic cell.
The call should be something like:
CreateAllIPinOneSchematic(“srcLibPattern”, “trgLibName”, “allIPinoneSchematicName”)
It should search for all libraries starting with the string matching the srcLibPattern and put all the symbols of the cell that has the same name as the library in a schematic called “allIPinoneSchematicName” in Library “trgLibName”. 
Can I get SKILL for this? Or some pointer will help.
 Regards.
Ash 

  • Folks, 

    Any clues for SKILL query? 

  • If this was urgent you should log a service request with customer support - we're all volunteers here - even those from Cadence who post do so in their spare time.

    Yes, IC5141 has a search and replace (Edit->Search->Replace in the schematic editor).

    And you could write SKILL for this. Something like:

    procedure(CreateAllIPinOneSchematic(srcLibPattern trgLib trgCell @key (xSpacing 1.0) (srcView "symbol") (trgView "schematic"))
      let((srcCv trgCv x)
        trgCv=dbOpenCellViewByType(trgLib trgCell trgView "schematic" "w")
        foreach(srcLib rexMatchList(srcLibPattern ddGetLibList()~>name
          foreach(srcCell ddGetObj(srcLib)~>cells~>name
            when(ddGetObj(srcLib srcCell srcView)
              srcCv=dbOpenCellViewByType(srcLib srcCell srcView)
              when(srcCv
                dbCreateInst(trgCv srcCv "" x:0 "R0")
                x=x+xSpacing
              )
            )
          )
        )
      )
    )

    Something like that. Note I have not tested the above - just typed it into the post - and it's intended to give you the rough idea. I'll leave you to finish and test it.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
