deNewCellView option to not open the text view in editor

In ocean script we have the following command to create a systemVerilog view. But this command also opens the file in text editor. Is there a way to prevent it from opening the file?

deNewCellView(lib_name, cell_name, "systemVerilog", "systemVerilogText", nil)

If I create many views via script it just keeps opening so many files.

The easiest way to create the view and import it into the library is to use the cdsTextTo5x command (this is a UNIX command - you can type "cdsTextTo5x -help" to see the command-line options. You could then invoke this from SKILL using (say) ipcBeginProcess or even just using system("cdsTextTo5x ...").

Using a Design Editor function when you don't want the Design Editor is a rather odd way of achieving this.

If you wanted something that's entirely in SKILL, you could use my code in How to create a text cellview using SKILL (you can pass the viewType as the 5th argument), followed by using vmsUpdateCellViews() to do the analysis of the view to ensure the shadow database etc is created.

Regards,

Andrew

Andrew. Thanks for the quick reply. I don't see cdsTextTo5x command defined in my unix system(nor in the CIW window). I use RHEL 7. But the skill only option works. But only problem I have is if the view is checked in "designSync(dssc) modules" then I need a command to checkout with lock/writable option. The deNewCellView automatically checks out the view if it already exists and checked in. Do we have a command line option to checkout the systemverilog(any other text view) view in edit/writable

Something similar to https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1Od0000000uqWPEAY&pageName=ArticleContent

But a procedure makes the text/systemverilog view edit/writable. It will just pass if it is already editable/locked by me and throws an error if locked by someone else.
