How to get the Cellnames list used in all hierarchy of the open layout using SKILL

Marben,

There's a discussion of this in this recent thread (which you answered in fact) (it actually shows up in the Related Topics on the right hand side for me).

This is likely to be a simple hierarchy traversal though - the abLibraryRefs code in this thread (actually abGetCellViewRefs would be the function to use) is probably what you want. It could be more efficient for big designs by using tables rather than using member() to check if it's been visited before, but it's probably fine in most cases.

You'd have to add the code to write to a file, but that would be easy enough.

Hi Andrew,

I want to extract the cellnames from the output of Shift - T command or Edit - Hierarchy = Tree,

and save it to a file.

The cellnames are displayed in the second column of  of the Tree output as shown above.

How to do that in SKILL?

Best regards,

Marben

Hi Marben,

There's no SKILL support for that - but the code in my article How to print a hierarchy tree of a config-based schematic, normal schematic, or layout view could be used instead.
