schViewToView

Hi all,

  I want to write a skill file to update standard cell librarie all symbols  with VDD/VSS pins.

There exits all symbol view.

When I use the  "schViewToView()" function, I want to select the "Modify" function.

How could I do the job automatically?

Thanks for your great help!

 

Best regards,

E-Jen

  • In order to do this, you'd need to change the TSG (Text to Symbol Generator) template. I did it by copying the <ICinstDir>/tools/dfII/samples/symbolGen/artist.tsg (pick whichever template you normally use on the Create->CellView from Cellview route) to a local file, myArtist.tsg. I then edited this file and changed the wireLength to 0.0 (in the symbolParams section). More details can be found in the Text to Symbol Generator appendix (Appendix C in the version I'm using) of the Virtuoso Schematic Editor L User Guide.

    Then:

    tsgTemplateMasters=cons(list("myArtist" strcat(getWorkingDir() "/myArtist.tsg")) tsgTemplateMasters)
    envSetVal("schematic" "tsgTemplateType" 'string "myArtist")

    The first adds the path to your modified template into the master list, and then the second specifies the template you want to use. This will be consumed by the schPinListToView function above, and  you'll end up with pins directly on the box of the symbol without any pin legs.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
