Cadence IC5.1.41 libInit.il

ag2888
Hi,

I wanted to know is it possible to overwrite the libInit.il file, which is specified in the project area by a local version of the same??
I am actually trying to load a user defined set of "modelPath"s for the analog design environment. So i have another skill script in my local area to do that (this is loaded using .cdsinit). But the libInit.il file in the project area, that is sourced whenever i open the library manager, overwrites the "modelPath"s by loading a script in the project area.

Any suggestions how this can be done?

Any other suggestions on how to add some default set of "modelPath"s for the ADE?

Thanks

  • Hi Andrew,

     I tried using the above code in a "*.ils" file in my local area and loaded it using .cdsinit file. In the .cdsinit file i also loaded the local copy of the libInit.il and my model.il after this. That way it works.

    But there are some issues that i see. 

    1. The local libInit.il starts loading but then after the first line itself it starts loading the project libInit file. After successfully loading it, it reloads the local one.

    Thus giving out some errors like

    *Error* User post install trigger already registered for viewType maskLayout 

    The libInit.il in both project and local area is as below -

    let( ( ddObj (success t) (libName "Lib_Name") )

      printf("Loading LOCAL %s/libInit.il ...\n" libName)

      if( ddGetObj(libName) then

         ;; load custom library initialization file

         ;; load library display resource file

         ;; load custom library initialization file (exit) 

    else

        success = nil

    ) 

    If any of the 3 files aren't loaded then also success is set as nil, which is then used to display a status message at the end of the file. 

    2. The CustomExit script (3rd file) that is called to load all .ile and .il, is the one that is causing the overriding of the local model.il. I have added the path of my local model file there as well but this doesn't seem to take it.

    Also if i just load the local copy of libInit.il and then load the model.il then also it works. i.e. without using the .ils file.

    I am very new to Skill hence I am not sure whether it is because of something wrong in the script or the file s being sourced due to some other command elsewhere.
