Find Instances That Used a Design Variable

archive

Hello,
I've been trying get a list of instances that used a design variable in a design via a SKILL script. It is like the "Variable -> Find" command in an Analog Artist, but it search for only one instance. If possible I would like to get a list of instances.

I know how to get a list of design variables used in a design,
asiGetDesignVarList( session )

Is there a direct command or a script to get a list of instances that used a design variable in a design?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Gilbert

  • Amalayer,

    That would work if there were design variables defined for the cell (i.e. if the "Copy to cellView" has been used in ADE). I don't think that's any different between spectre and spectreS.

    There's also artGetCellViewDesignVarList(cvId) which will tell you the saved design variables (actually stored on the cell's property bag).

    The functions for finding and searching for design variables down the hierarchy are unfortunately private SKILL functions, so I won't "out" them here... (because they'd be liable to change, and I don't want your code to break if we change or remove the functions, which is why they're private).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
