missing libraries

dakuang01

Hi,

I'd like to hunt down libraries that are referenced on layout but not included in my cds.lib file so now I'm looking for flashing boxes with my own eyes.

Is there any easy way to find them at a time?

Thanks,

Jungyoon

    HI Jungyoon,

    Well you may select them in one go like this:

    (geSelectFigs (setof inst (geGetEditCellView)~>instances (not (ddGetObj inst~>libName))))

    ...but that looks up only the current hierarchy level. To find such dead references anywhere in the hierarchy you'd have to traverse it recursively.

    Hi Jungyoon,

    In addition to Max's suggestion, a similar question has come up before - here's a link to an older discussion (which in itself links to some code to help with this).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
