How can I check symbol's ports and symbol's name in a schematic ?

Hi all,

I'd like to check and write some symbol's port name and the symbol's name in a schematic to a file by skill.

Do you have sample code? 

Best regards,

Ichiro

    I could run "test()" without using SKILLIDE.

    Thanks!!

    The SKILL IDE has a File->Open and Load menu (or FIle->Load to re-load any file that's opened in a an editor window). There's no need to be typing load("...") in the CIW.

    Note that your code calling schHiTree(cvId) won't work because schHiTree expects a window id, not a cellView id.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Thanks Andrew,

     I don't know why "cvID code" was working well but new code is working well now. 

    community.cadence.com/.../how-to-get-the-windowid

    procedure( test()

    wiId =geOpen(
    ?lib "test"
    ?cell "TEST"
    ?view "schematic"
    ?mode "r"
    )
    schHiTree(wiId)

    ); procedure
