How to check if schematic / layout views need saving due to updates

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to open schematic or layout views and check if they require a re-save due to various reasons (e.g. updates in instances present in the schematic/layout view)
I only wish to find and report the cellviews with such a status.

On the schematic side I've tried using dbOpenCellViewByType followed by schCheck / schCheckHier. But I get no warnings, even though when opening the schematic window I do get warning SCH-2162 regarding the view needing a Check and Save.

It's probably a simple solution but I can't think of it.

Regards,
Mihai

Hi Mihai,

Not entirely sure what you are looking for, but you can check whether the schematic needs checking using dbIsConnCurrent(cvId). I may have misunderstood your requirement though.

I'm not sure if this answer helps.

CIW Menu (File -> Make Read only) to get a report of cell views that need save

I apologize for the ambiguous request.

My question would be: is there a way via SKILL to do/trigger the checks that output the SCH-2162 warning?

The warning in question:
*WARNING* (SCH-2162): "test_lib subcell_1 symbol" has been updated since "test_lib test_cell schematic" was last saved. Validate that the schematic is correct and run Check and Save to suppress this warning.

This command works for me
cv~>modifiedButNotSaved

Returns t if modified and nil if not
