 Dear All,

I have a cell is from LibA/A cell , it contains LibB/B cell and LibC/C cell ,  When I open A cell , it's  fine.

But  LibB and LibC is removed from cds.lib , A cell stills looks fine ,  but when stream out gds ,

it shows a Error  (XSTR M-166) ,....Ensure that the master cell view ...

 

How do I know the LibB/C and LibC/C is really can't stream out?

Thank you,

Charley

     Andrew ,

     

    ddGetObj(libName cellName)  will work correct when user restart layoutPlus again ,

    if cellview is not exist , it won't return value.

    But , now is as below:

     A user has LibA/A cell , B user has LibB/B cell and LibC/C cell 

    When A user open cell which references LibB/B and LibC/C , it's OK , 

    But B user reomve LibB/LibC from its cds.lib

    The problem is that all data are still in memory ,  ddGetObj(libName cellName) will return value ,

     

    Thank you,

    Charley
