How to select instances/figures from a schematic opened in the background?

UmangKrSinha

Hi Skill experts,

Can someone suggest a way to select instances/figures from a schematic I opened using dbOpenCellViewByType() function?

I want my skill script to create a new schematic, use some other schematic and copy figures from there into the new one for editing.

I have searched the forum but couldn't find an answer to this specific problem.

I am a real rookie so If there is any better method to do this can you please suggest it?

Thank you

  • Generally, in SKILL programming, the GUI functions are not very useful. There is usually a SKILL analog for them however. Once you have the cvID from dbOpenCellViewByType, you can cycle through the objects as mbracht has suggested and then use the proper SKILL function to operate on them. For Copying, for example, you can use dbCopyFig to copy from one cellview to the other.
