Getting schematic instances from multiple open schematics

shajujan

Hi,
 
I want write a skill routine that lets the user interactively select instances from multiple schematics & get those instance names. I tried geAddSelectPoint(), but that will prompt the user to select instances only from the current cellview. I tried dbGetOpenCellViews(), but that will get me all the open cellviews in memory including the ones not open currently.
 
Any ideas on how to get started will be much appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Shaju

    A couple of things. First the callback should be:

                                             ?callback       "asiSelectInst('inst ?form symeval(form))"

    and in fact it might make sense to avoid it needing the "form" global variable, so using:

                                             ?callback       sprintf(nil "asiSelectInst('inst ?form symeval('%s))" form)

    might be better still.

    Secondly it requires the design to be open in a tab. It doesn't do that automatically. I can't see a way of ensuring that happens without using private APIs (and I don't really have time now to debug this fully as I'm travelling at the moment). So I suggest you contact customer support for this.

    Thirdly, your form stores asiSession on the form symbol - you might want to use:

    symeval(form)->asiSession=sevEnvironment(asiGetToolSession(ses testName)) 

    and have this updated based on your cyclic field (as a callback) so that it reflect the "right" session for the test. 

    Not fully debugged, as I said, but I did a little experimentation.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
