How to print all the hierarchies of a cell being used in a design using Skill Script?

GB20250109498

Hi, I want to search a cell used in a top schematic and print the hierarchies of the cell being used, Could you please help? I want to print the hiearchy in terms of cell names not instance names, Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ganesh,

    can we print only the "search cell" hierachy instead of printing all the hoerachy in our design? This will reduce our execution time as well as load.

    I don't understand what you mean by the "search cell" hierarchy. Can you please clarify?

    Hi Andrew,

    What I mean to say is, instead of printing every hierarchy in the design, I want to print only the hierarchy where a particular cell is being used.

    This will be helpful when we r working on a lower cell and want to know where and all hierarchies the cell is being used.

    This wouldn't be any faster as it would still need to visit the entire hierarchy to see whether it is used anywhere.

    So you could just post-process the results to filter out those which have the given cell name in the result hierarchy path.
