opening a cell layout view in GUI mode using SKILL

sanramz

Hi,

  How to open a layout view in GUI mode using skill code? I want to open a cell layout view in XL mode.

dbOpenCellViewByType will open the cell in background with specified library, cell name and mode, but how to open in GUI mode?? 

 

Regards,

Santhosh

    Hi Santhosh,

    deOpen(list(nil 'libName "opamp090" 'cellName "adc_sample_hold" 'viewName "layout" ?accessMode "a") nil "" "Layout XL")

    See the documentation for the full details on the disembodied property list passed as the first argument to deOpen.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    I use

    deOpenCellView("libName" "cellName" "layout" "" nil "r")

    and then do Launch->Layout XL in the GUI. :) 

    A clunkier way to accomplish what Andrew's code does is: 

    deInstallApp(
    deOpenCellView("opamp090" "adc_sample_hold" "layout" "" nil "a") 
    "Virtuoso XL"
)
