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

  • Danny, that's my point though - if you use the navigator, you get a list of all the instance names and then you can select the one you want before doing edit in place - no need for tricky hovering... So this can be done already without needing SKILL. Not sure if you can descend further down the hierarchy in one shot though - I'd have to try that.
