Problem in coping symbols through skill code in other new schematic window

conrel

Hello Cadence,

I was trying to make the multiple copy of symbol in a new schematic design through skill code. But when trying to do that, it is copying only dummy symbol (only the outline of the symbol without any function of circuitry) . Please let me know if there is any mistake in code? . I am sharing the code here. please help me.

If there is any other reference material available to make automatic schematic through code(or the commands use to make schematic through skill), please provide that too.


First i am opening the new cellview in cadence and then running the command to run this file.


procedure(ishu(Design_Lib_Name cell_Name row col)

new_design = geGetEditCellView()
cellCV_Name = dbOpenCellViewByType(Design_Lib_Name cell_Name "symbol")
orientation="R0"
for(i 0 row-1
for(j 0 col-1
cellInst = dbCreateInst(new_design cellCV_Name "cellInst" list(8*i, 8*j) orientation)
dbFlattenInst(cellInst 1 t)
)
)
for(j 0 col-1
wireId=schCreateWire(new_design "draw" "full" list(-0.5+8*j:-2 -0.5+8*j:2+7*row) 0.05 0.05 0.0)
)

)

  • I'd have thought that the warning was pretty clear - you're calling dbCreateInst multiple times with the same instance name ("cellInst").

    Instead, change the second argument of dbCreateInst to either be "" (which means they will be auto-named) or pass an expression which creates a unique instance name, such as sprintf(nil "cellInst_%d_%d" i j) .
