attribute inside cellview

Hi

Is there any document to describe attributes of cellview, figures, pin, ... ?

For example, cellviewType (maskLayout) has attribute of superMaster and master. I want find out the meaning of these attributes.

procedure(CCSexpandView(cellview)
  case(cellview~>cellViewType
    ;; if given a symbol, try to open the schematic for it, or
    ;; return the symbol dbId if "schematic" or "cmos.sch" views
    ;; do not exist
    ("schematicSymbol"
      dbOpenCellViewByType(         cellview~>libName
        cellview~>cellName
        ;; this is the switch view list for schematics
     list("schematic" "cmos.sch" "symbol")
      )
    )
    ;; if given a layout, it is its own master cellview
    ("maskLayout" if(cellview~>superMaster then cellview~>master else cellview))
    ;; for anything else including nil, return nil
    (t nil)
  ); case
); procedure CCSexpandView

Thanks,

MC

    Yes. This is covered in the Virtuoso Design Environment SKILL Reference manual, which you can find using <ICinstDir>/tools/bin/cdnshelp or using the Help menu in Virtuoso. Or you can simply look at <ICinstDir>/doc/skdfref/skdfref.pdf

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    To find out the list of database attributes associated to a database object, type the following in the CIW

    dbId~>?

    To list all the attributes and their values associated to a database object, type the following,

    dbId~>??

    This applies to any database object (db:*)
