How to open a schematic window from a layout window

blankman

 Hi All,

Im looking to write code to open a corresponding schematic view from a layout window. I have the command below, (which uses predefined variables BSlibname1, BSblockname1 and BSviewname1 to call the cell info) but I'm hoping to extract this info from the open layout window. Would anyone know how to go about this?

Thanks,
Brian.

BSlibname1="adf4355_1"
BSblockname1="adf4355_1_r0"
BSviewname1="schematic"

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl Alt Shift<key>1" "win1=hiCreateWindow('((0 248) (1410 1175)) \"graphics\" \"schematic_win\" \"\" t) geOpen(?window win1 ?lib BSlibname1 ?cell BSblockname1 ?view BSviewname1 ?mode \"r\") hiResizeWindow(win1 list(0:248 1410:1175))")

  • Hi Brian,

    I'm not sure if we can interact with the Library Manager, but there is a Library Browser which you can set the library, cell and view to - the ddsSyncWithForm() command links the Library Browser to a form with fields for library cell and view.  I am not sure if the Library Browser can be set directly, or only from the linked form - for the latter you could create a form that is not displayed, just for the purpose of setting the Library Browser.  You would need to call ddsEndSyncWithForm when done.  This seems a bit clunky though.   The Library Manager is a separate process, I don't think there is a public way to select a library/cell/view from the Virtuoso process.  What are you trying to achieve?

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
