Skill file to load in virtuoso

Skill User

Hi

I was thinking to write skill file which can be loaded in virtuoso to get every information about any view type like schematic, layout and symbol to automate the process.

Information can be how many shapes, components, wires etc are there.

Is this possible or do we already have any such file?

Thanks

    Here's some code which does what you asked. Since your requirements were very vague, I suspect this only vaguely meets what you wanted.

    cv=geGetEditCellView()

    port=outfile("./dump.txt")
    fprintf(port "Terminals: %d\n" length(cv~>terminals))
    pprint(cv~>terminals~>name port)
    newline(port)

    fprintf(port "Nets: %d\n" length(cv~>nets))
    pprint(cv~>nets~>name port)
    newline(port)

    fprintf(port "Instances: %d\n" length(cv~>instances))
    pprint(cv~>instances~>name port)
    newline(port)

    fprintf(port "Shapes: %d\n" length(cv~>shapes))
    pprint(cv~>shapes~>objType port)
    newline(port) 

    close(port)
