What is the fastest way to find all cells used in design hierarchy

alexstepanov75

Hi,

I need to create a list of all cells used in the design hierarchically (schematic and layout only).

I am currently using a recursive function that opens cells with cv=dbOpenCellViewByType() and then getting a list of instances as cv->instanceMasters

Somehow instList=cv->instanceMasters takes a lot of time and when I use profiler I see that a lot of time going to functions related to pCells (pcGenCell)

It seems like pCell creation scripts called for pCells in the design and it takes a lot of time.

Is it a faster way to get a list of all cells used in a design (all the hierarchy of cause)?

Thank you,

Alex.

    Hi Alex,

    Try to use Shift - T, or Edit - Hierarchy- Tree.
