 Hello,

Try to Create a Cadence view from the verilog file. Here is my section of the skill that it is having problem with.  If somebody has a easier way to create a Cadence view from a file let me know as well. I know what the problem here is but do not know the solution yet.

       if((ddGetObj(libName cellName viewName fileN nil "r") != nil) then
      CCScopyWrealCV(libName cellName viewName copyViewName)   
      ddDeleteObj(ddGetObj(libName cellName viewName fileN nil "r"))
      fileId = ddGetObj(libName cellName viewName fileN nil "w")
      WfileName = fileId~>readPath
      oPort  = outfile(WfileName)
      fileOut = infile(fileName)
      while(gets(string fileOut)
          fprintf(oPort string)          
      )
      close(fileOut)
      close(oPort)

Thanks

    Hi,

    The function schInstallHDL might be what you are looking for?

    regards,

    Lawrence.

     Thanks this helps but it is triggering the cross-view checks when it is being generated.... I have tried setting

    "vmsCrossViewCheck" to nil. It still brings up the pop-ups which is not desirable in my case. Is there an overwrite i can use or do i have to delete the view first before re-creating it.

    I am creating other filetypes along with this and it looks like schInstallHDL only works for Verilog.

    Is there any way i can do it the way i was doing in the above code and handle special characters properly,,

    Thanks

    Not really enough info to go on to solve all the problems, but you can fix your original code by changing:

              fprintf(oPort string)          

    to

              fprintf(oPort "%s" string)          

    Regards,

    Andrew.
