how to use skill function to create layout library with virtuoso tf file

tomchen

Hi 

I use skill function like as bleow to create virtuoso tf libraryh ,and it works in 615_ISR12 , but fails in 5141.

And I also try to create library manually on gui , it can work on both 615 and 5141.

================================== 

is there  other skill function  to create tf library??

following is my skill code:

tf_file = "./aaa.tf" 

library_name = "aaa"

lib_id = dbCreateLib(library_name)

cds_tech=techOpenDefaultTechFile()

techCopyTechFile(cds_tech library_name "./" t)

tfId=techGetTechfIle(lib_id)

tcLoadtechFile(tfID tf_file)

techSaveTechFile(tfid)

    Try this instead:

    tf_file = "./aaa.tf"
    library_name = "aaa"
    lib_id = dbCreateLib(library_name)
    tfId=techOpenTechFile("aaa" techGetDefaultTechName() "a")
    tcLoadTechFile(tfId tf_file)
    techSaveTechFile(tfId)

    The way you tried it worked for me too - although I get some warnings in IC5141 about not being able to get an exclusive lock on the source library. But the way I suggest is simpler, I think - so maybe that's the best way to do it.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
