Converting a existing library to PCELL library

RK56

Hi,

I have a library of 500+ cells with schematic, symbol and layout views. Now we have decided to create another variant which differs only by single layer (VT variants). So instead of creating another set of 500+ cells I'm looking for an option to convert the existing views to PCELL views and provide an option to chose the Vt.

I have good experience in writing SKILL scripts but I have not tried anything related to PCELLs. So kindly provide me some directions.

Thank you

Ramakrishnan

    I agree with you Andrew. I just want to compare the Pros and Cons and thanks for mentioning them. I'd go with fixed layout view approach.

    What should be done on the schematic and symbol front?
