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

    I used the lePlot() function.

    I created a template lePlotOptions file with keywords and created the options file on the fly for each cell in my library by substituting the cell name, etc.
    Then called the lePlot("plotOptionsFile") function.

    I'll tweak it for the schematic side.

    I'll share the script if anyone is interested.

    Hi drjbrand, could you share your code?
    I would need it mainly for the layout plots.

    Thank you in advance,
