SKILL code to traverse the hierarchy of cellviews in schematic

Hi there,

I have been stuck for quite sometime with a requirement, to access the parameter values of each instance (MOS, RES, CAP, VDC...) in a design which has instances of many other cell view, hence creating a hierarchy (These sub-cell views translate to subcircuits in the netlist) .

What I want is, to be able to access recurisively each instance in the design and be able to change the 'w's and 'l' etc. from the top cell view.

As a starting point I have collected some information and coded the following:

currentSession=asiGetSession(hiGetCurrentWindow())

topCellView=asiGetTopCellView(currentSession)

Now where to head next? Can anyone suggest?

Thanks and Regards,

Atul
