using Skill to Copy Config viiews

Hi all,

I am trying to create a simple function to copy one golden config view to new configviews and change the top cell view for the new config views.

Using the following code creates copies of the golden config but when I change the top cellview the new configs will all be empty of contnent:

cv=hdbOpen(MyWorkLib MyTB GoldenConfig "r")
hdbSaveAs( cv MyWorkLib MyTB MyConf) ; MyConf is the new config view
hdbClose(cv)

SchView="schematic_test1"
new_cv=hdbOpen(MyWorkLib MyTB MyConf "w")
hdbSetTopCellViewName(new_cv MyWorkLib MyTB SchView)
hdbSave(new_cv)
hdbClose(new_cv)

Any Idea why? Have I missed any steps?

Thank you in advance!

Try using "a" mode (instead of "w") for the hdbOpen command. When you use "w", it essentially overrides all the previous settings, whereas "a" will retain the previous settings (like libList, viewList, etc).

Hi Ali,

I think it is because your second call to hdbOpen() uses "w" (write/overwrite) for the mode rather than "a" (append/edit).

Regards,

Lawrence.

Looks like Aaron and I posted at almost the same time (so I didn't see his response while I was replying) - his answer and mine are essentially the same, and since technically his reply was first he should get any credit/kudos :-) but thank you for the thanks.
