Skill script to reduce W/L of all transistors in a schematic

Hi All,

Can anyone help me with a script to reduce/shrink the W/L of all transistors in a schematic at one shot?

For example 

I have ten transistors with different W/L and if there is an option like scale the W/L to 50%, that would be great

    Hi,

    Take a look at these two solutions, they should help out. The first is to change the parameter values, the second is to force the instance callbacks to run after the change (since the callbacks are not called when the parameter is changed through SKILL like they are when changed through the GUI). You would need to formulate a way of obtaining the existing parameter and apply the shrink calculation to it and setting that as the new value. 

    How can I update instance properties in a schematic using SKILL?

    How to call CDF callbacks procedurally from SKILL?

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
