Hi,

I have done the layout of a particular schematic and in my case schematic and layout are present in different library.

I need the solution for opening the existing layout from schematic using SKILL.

Thanks in Advance!!

Regards,

Srimant

    Hi Srimant,

    You might consider the following then, which sets the connectivity reference for the layout cellview using SKILL:

    lxSetConnRef( 
    t_layLib
    t_layCell
    t_layView
    t_sourceType { CELLVIEW | NONE }
    [ ?schLib t_schLib ]
    [ ?schCell t_schCell ]
    [ ?schView t_schView ]
    )
    => t / nil

    Sets or unsets the connectivity reference for a specified layout cellview without opening the layout view graphically. You must specify the layout view and whether the source type is NONE or CELLVIEW. If the source type is CELLVIEW, you can specify the schematic cellview to use (by default it is set to the schematic view in the same library and cell). The function also saves the layout cellview, but only if had not been modified prior to lxSetConnRef being called.

    Hopefully this is what you are looking for, or at least helpful.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
