New to SKILL - where do I find the docs?

Hello,

I work for a Cadence partner.  I need to help a cadence customer with some SKILL language programming that works with our products.

I do not currently have any cadence products installed on our systems, I am going to debug on the customer system.

Where can I find getting started/reference guides for SKILL programming?  I need to make some additions to existing SKILL code.  I am an experienced programmer, need some docs to help get me going.

    Hi Chuck,

    Well if you debug on the customer system you should have access to the Cadence documentation from there. To bring up the Cadence online documentation just type cdnshelp in a Unix terminal and then go to SKILL - SKILL Language - Cadence SKILL Language User Guide.

    Alternatively you might get the documentation from Cadence's support portal - https://support/cadence.com. You need to register to this portal though which requires the hostid of a valid license server.
