  • That's because it's a database function, not a layout editor function. So it is in the Virtuoso Design Environment SKILL Reference. If you run `cds_root virtuoso`/tools/bin/cdnshelp or use Help from the CIW (say), you can search for dbWriteSkill and find it that way.

    Note that using dbWriteSkill is not going to write a particularly pretty or reusable piece of SKILL code. So by all means use it to find out the functions needed to create particular objects, but I wouldn't really start any code from it.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
