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

    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"
    )
