Batch print/plot from virtuoso

drjbrand

I have over 100 designs I need to print/plot which include both schematic and layout. I'd like to know if there is a skill script to print all cells from a given library to a ps or pdf file. I tried one skill file I found that wrote out a thumbnail in png format and then used a unix command to convert to pdf.  I didn't like the results and would rather use a printer to a file. The background was black and I couldn't figure out how to control the hierarchy of the image. I want all levels not just top level.

Any help would be appreciated. While I wait for a response I'm going to embark on writing something myself.

Thanks,

            ~Joe

    Did you use File->Print->Plot_Scope->hierarchy ? From the top level cell of you design ?

    Or did you really use a custom skill script from schPlot() and lePlot() skill function ?

    By the way, i advise anyone to change the "setlinewidth 1" into "setlinewidth 5" of the generated postscript function. It makes the schematic much more visible.
