Hi,

its showing an error for geOpen() with some arguments as missing, even after i specifed the every argument.

geOpen(w_Window, library, cell, "schematic" "schematic" "r"),

where i specified my window as w_window = hiOpenWindow(), library is library am using, cell is cell View and r is mode.

Thanks.

w_window = hiOpenWindow()

    That's not how you specify the argument, so it's unsurprising that it gives an error (you didn't say what the error was). It should be:

    geOpen(
    ?lib "mylib"
    ?cell "mycell"
    ?view "schematic"
    ?viewType "schematic"
    ?mode "r"
    )

    See the documentation for geOpen, or at least the short help in cdsFinder, or type "help geOpen" in the CIW.

    If you don't specify ?window it will open a new window anyway. Also ?viewType isn't really needed for existing cellViews, only when the view is going to be created.

    Regards,

    Andrew
