Moving layout between windows

LaksNanu

Hi Cadence,

I have two windows related to same library but different cell views, Sometimes I Move layout structures between the windows through GUI mode.

I Need a script which will Move structures from "Layout A" to "Layout B" and the script should not delete existing "layout B" instead it should append to "Layout B" .

(This is optional) One more add on I require is that, I should do window selection of structures in "Layout A".

Thanks & Regards,

LaksNanu

    cv2=dbOpenCellViewByType("library" "layoutB" "layout" "maskLayout" "a") ; need some way to get the second cellView
    foreach(fig geGetSelSet()
      dbMoveFig(fig cv2)
    )

    Your requirements were rather vague... so I made some vague assumptions (like you didn't want any transformation when you did the move - you wanted them in the same position relative to the origin).

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,

    Apologies for unclear information.

    My concept is to create layout swaping script.  Like get two layouts, select some data in two layout, execute layout swap procedure, the layout should get swapped.
