Descending into a specific instance using Virtuoso Edit-In-Place

DannyRitt

Hello,


At a TOP level layout block there are many instances that overlaps each other. Sometimes it can get tricky to select a specific cell and Edit In Place into it. I am looking for a SKILL script to click anywhere on the TOP level, it will pop a window with the instances names underneath. Upon selecting the instance, it will Edit-In-Place into it.

Any directions or tips are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Danny

  • Hi Andrew,

    Yes, but sometimes it can get tricky when you have many instances in the top level block. You need to hover above the top cell trying to "catch" the exact cell that you are interested to descend into. The idea was to click on the TOP level, a window pops with all instances under the cursor, the user selects the instance that he/she interested to descend into and click EIP. Then the window closes and the user is in EIP inside that cell.

    The EIP should go only one level down though. I am not sure that we can identify in SKILL the entire path incase of many instances.

    Thanks,

    Danny
