Can not update pcell masters

Ilya Temnikov

Hello

When I want to redraw all the masters of pcells I do something like this:

foreach(c dbGetOpenCellViews()

when(c->isParamCell

dbPurge(c)

)

)

And Virtuoso regenerates all the pcell masters

But I've got a library that contains python pcells. And this doesn't work here after pcell updates. I see that the supermaster is updated but the instance continues to behave like there were no any changes. The changes take effect after Virtuoso reloading only.

The question is how to force Virtuoso to redraw python pcell masters without reloading Virtuoso session?

    Put another way, the PCell interpreter kicks in when the cellView is loaded into memory. SKILL pcells re-evaluate when the PCell is purged and reloaded so the fact that your non-SKILL pcells don't behave this way must be something to do with how the Python pcell plugin works. Maybe there is a way, but you'll need to ask the people who provide it. Regards, Andrew
