    Clearly you didn't do much searching or looking for examples, because this information should be pretty easy to find.

    All you need to do is:

    cv=dbOpenCellViewByType(libName cellName viewName "schematic" "a") ; fifth arg could be "a" or "w"

    The mode is either "a" (append/edit) or "w". For a new view, it doesn't matter - but for an existing view, "w" will overwrite, whereas "a" will start from what's there already. The fourth argument is the viewType (not the view name).

    Hopefully that will be enough for you to find the right part of the documentation, and some examples (e.g. on these forums).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
