Automatically Display Layout XL on 1 screen and Schematic on the other screen

Anna Sambile

Hi,

I am new in learning cadence SKILL and I'm currently using cadence virtuoso ICADVM20.1-64b.

Can someone help me if there is already a SKILL program or cadence feature that can display the layout XL on left screen and schematic view on right?

I read the forum guidelines and checked if there's already a similar inquiry with this and this is what I found: https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1Od0000000nVxnEAE&pageName=ArticleContent&caseSessionKey=0053w000009eUkpAAE__20230213131015443


I have 2 monitors of different size where I tried to run this but it seems to work only on one monitor.

I tried to explore hiGetMaxScreenCoords() but it always give me the coordinates of the largest monitor I'm using.

Hope someone could help.

Thank you very much!

Regards,

Anna

  • Hi Anna,

    Have you tried placing the windows where you want them by hand?

    You should then be able to use the following command in the CIW to get their actual coordinates :

    (hiGetAbsWindowScreenBBox (hiGetCurrentWindow) t)

    Cheers,

    Aurélien
