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

  • And another approach. This version loads instances under the mouse Click into a form. Upon selecting an instance an EIP operation should be performed, into the selected instance. The issue is with the: leEditInPlace() command.
