editing layout in batch mode

ArKa01

Hi all,

There is simple change i need to do in all the layouts of a library. I have written a small skill script to do that change.

What I now do is open each cell and execute the script.

Is there any way I can do this in batch mode so that all the cells get changed in one run of the script?

I use IC 6.1.6-64b.500.6

Thanks,

Arshad

  • Is this a one time thing or will you be doing this repeatedly? If it is a 1 time, you could manually start the procedure in an interactive Virtuoso session, that is easier than trying to do a true batch function as would be called from a make script as you can enter the correct arguments to the function manually.

    You would need to write a procedure which opens each cellView in the library, executes your editing function, saves the data and purges VM.

    foreach( cell ddGetObj( libName )~>cells

    when(ddGetObj( libName cell~>name "layout")

    cv = dbOpenCellViewByType( ... "a") ;; fill in the arguments for lib, cell and view

    DoYourThing(cv)

    dbSave(cv)

    dbClose(cv)

    ))
