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))")

    Hello Derek,

    Do you know how this code could be modified to open the other view in XL mode (in read only mode) without needing to open those extra GUIs?

    So if you are in schematic window, how can i open the layout in LayoutXL mode and if you are in layout window, open the schematic with LayoutXL mdoe.

    Thanks

    Ram
