Skill code to generate symbol view automatically from schematics

Nader Fathy

Hello,

I have a PDK library that has hundreds of cells, each has a layout and schematic view imported from (GDS and SPICE Netlist). I am trying to write a SKILL code to loop on all cells with schematic view and generate a symbol view for it. I don't care about how fancy the symbol looks, any symbol would work for me. So far I know how to select the library, loop on cells and check if it has a schematic view, however I don't know what function or set of functions to use to generate a simple symbol.

Any help is much appreciated.

OS: Redhat 7

Virtuoso Version: IC6.1.8-64b.500.15

Kindest Regards,

Nader Fathy

    Hi Nader,

    Well to create a new empty(!) symbol you can use dbOpenCellViewByType:

    (dbOpenCellViewByType <lib> <cell> <view> "schematicSymbol" <mode>)

    Or maybe that wasn't the question was it?

    Probably what you're after is:

    schPinListToSymbol(lib cell "symbol" schSchemToPinList(lib cell "schematic"))
