SKILL command to get the schematic view associated with a Symbol

Hi Manikandan,

Yes, but the approach depends on a couple of things:

1) what is your staring point, the symbol cellview (e.g. open in a window) or the library-level view (e.g. in the Library Browser) ?

2) is the schematic view called "schematic", or do you need to allow for any name?

Also, I will assume your version is IC6.1.x or ICADV12.x, and I'm assuming that the symbol and schematic reside in the same library (a reasonable assumption I think!)

Assuming a symbol cellview starting point, e.g.

symCv = dbOpenCellViewByType("mylib" "mycell" "symbol")

You might find the schematic like this:

;; check that the schematic cellview exists (using the name "schematic" for the view name)
when(ddGetObj(symCv~>libName symCv~>cellName "schematic")
  schCv = dbOpenCellViewByType(symCv~>libName symCv~>cellName "schematic")
)

The latter (schCv) is the cellview database id (cvId) of the schematic.
Or, not assuming the name is "schematic" (but assuming there is just one such view), and assuming a library-level view starting point:

schDd = car(
  setof(v ddGetObj("mylib" "mycell" "symbol")~>cell~>views
    member("sch.oa" v~>files~>name)
  )
)

The latter (schDd) is the cell ddId of the schematic.

Hopefully this gives you some ideas, and of course YMMV.

Best regards,

Lawrence.
