Export GDS and CDL using command prompt

For stream out, the command line utility is 'strmout' You can either specify all of the options like lib/cell/view name, output file, mapping files, etc on the command line or use 'strmout -templateFile <filename>' to give the options in a template file. See the "Design Translation Using XStream Translator" section of the Design Data Translator's Reference manual. For GDS out, it is 'si -batch -command netlist' that you need. That will look for a 'si.env' file that has all the setup. See that same manual but the section on "Design Translation Using CDL Out". Half the battle sometimes is getting to the right manual!

For the second question, please give some insight into what you want to execute from a perl script. I already gave an answer in another thread which pointed you at the "skillServer" solution for doing this, so presumably you need something else? Or maybe that answered your question.

(this was a response to the original question, not to Dan's response which was right on the money).

HI Andrew,

My requirement is to write a perl script which will take library name & top cell name as input, then it will generate GDS based on my inputs and executes calibre drc automatically using the generated GDS ( basically DRC automation ). I am new to cadence & I thought the only way to generate is through skill. I will try to execute it based on inputs given by Dan. Thank you very much for your help.

Regards
Anand
