Looking for alternate of dbInstQuery

Duc Loc

Hi all,

 

I'm working on copying instance from a lower hierarchy to the top level and found a solution here: SKILL: How to copy all cells with a specific name in the layout hierarchy to the top level

When I tried it, dbInstQuery was unable to finish because there are millions of instances in the hierarchy. I attempted to limit it using dbInstQuery(cv cv~>bBox startLevel stopLevel), but it wasn't efficient since the instance I need is deep in the hierarchy. Is there a function that can target a specific instance? I'm also open to other suggestions.

 

Thank you in advance,

Loc
