    Hi Raegaan,

    I don’t understand your question. What do you mean by “the stored skill codes”?

    Regards,

    Andrew

    By stored skill codes I mean , the codes for each form or pcell that is ready to use.

    regards

    Your question still doesn't make any sense. I don't know what "each for or pcell that is ready to use" means.

    If you're asking where the source code for Cadence tools is, then we don't provide that. We provide all the code needed to generate the forms that are part of the tools in a binary form so you can't see the source. If you're asking where the source code for parameterised cells as part of a process design kit is, then usually that's not provided by the foundry either - they either encrypt any code or have it shipped in a context file (which is a binary representation).

    If you're asking about code you've written (which I doubt, because of your question), then you'd know where it is. If you're asking about code written for local utilities at your site, you'd need to speak to whomever is responsible for that.

    To answer the question about the <virtuoso_install_dir> in your response to Lawrence's attempt to answer your very vague question, you can find that by typing cdsGetInstPath() in the CIW. It's the directory containing the software installation for Virtuoso.
