is there skill code to link a layout to a schematic in VXL

Hi Nhumai

Perhaps you can try the following:

procedure( CCSsetConnRef(lib)
   let( ()
      unless( ddGetObj(lib) error("Cannot find lib %s" lib))
      foreach( cell setof(x ddGetObj(lib)~>cells member("layout" x~>views~>name))
         when( ddGetObj(lib cell~>name "schematic")
            printf("Processing cell %s\n" cell~>name)
            lxSetConnRef(lib cell~>name "layout" "CELLVIEW"
                ?schLib lib ?schCell cell~>name ?schView "schematic")
         ) ;when
      ) ;foreach
      printf("Job done\n")
   ) ;let
) ;procedure

Hi Nhumai,

What exactly do you mean by "linked"?
For a given cell you may have any number of schematic and layout views - it's not like a given schematic view has a specific associated layout view.
Only in VXL a layout cell view has a user defined property (cv~>lxInternal~>source~>view) that containes the information about the schematic that this layout was "generated all" from".

Hi Max,

Yes currently since we didn't generate layout from schematic so the VXL is not working for this lib. Even thought those cells lvs is clean still we can't use VXL to place them on the upper level. That is why I interested to learn if there is a way to make them work with VXL .

Hi Quek,

Thanks for your reply I didn't test your code yet let me do it tomorrow and I will update you
