How to select a project and save it with Tcl Command

Morgan

Hi friends of the community,

I want to use Tcl Command to select the last opened project name(or library) in capture cis, such as .dsn(.olb), and then, save and close it, but I encounter some troubles:

1.When I iter all open designs in the session with 3.2.5, it get the design name, but not listed in the order in which they were opened, so I can't find the last opened project; and sometimes, it listed the project name I have closed;

2.When I try to select the .dsn or .olb name use <ui::PMActivate "d:/cadence/work/test/mytest.opj"> and <SelectPMItem "./mytest.dsn">, and catch the error, it report errors with "RuntimeError Item Not Found" frequently. Is there any Tcl Command that implements this function?

3.When I save the project or library after modify with the code blow, It will pop up a window that needs to be confirmed, but I don't need the step, I want just save it directly.

#

#

# the code use this:


DboSession_MarkAllLibForSave $lLibSession $lDboLibrary
DboSession_SaveLib $lLibSession $lDboLibrary

#

#

# the confirm window like this:

    Hi CadAP, 

    I use V24.1, and open 5 dsn files.

    With your code, it just process the time minimum dsn file, if I modify variable lTimeIndex, such as "set lTimeIndex 3", the code always not work(can't switch to that dsn window), and if I add SelectPMItem "./$lDesignName" after ui::PMActivate, if always fail and print message:RuntimeError Item Not Found.

    The last few lines of code I modified were:

    #set lTimeIndex [lsearch $lDesignTime $lLastDesignTime]
    set lTimeIndex 3
    # puts $lTimeIndex
    set lDesignfromIndex [lindex $lDesignloc $lTimeIndex]
    # ui::PMActivate "$lDesignloc"
    set lDesgnLoc [split $lDesignfromIndex "\\"]
    set lDesignName [lindex $lDesgnLoc [expr { [llength $lDesgnLoc] - 1}]]

    if {$lDesignfromIndex != ""} {
    ui::PMActivate "$lDesignfromIndex"
    SelectPMItem "./$lDesignName"
    puts "/$lDesignName"

    catch the SelectPMItem message, print like this:

    So the issue is, can't process other dsn file name but the time minimum one, can you help me solve the problem?

    HI Morgan,

    Please dump list value "$lDesignloc", then check correct output is stored in the variable "lDesignfromIndex".

    Also check "lDesignName" variable is storing correct value.

    I think somewhere variable are messing up with the values.

    Hi CadAP, 

    When I puts this 3 variable, see command log as follows, Looks like nothing is wrong.

    Now "set lTimeIndex 4", get the dsn name T5.DSN, but Actually PMActivate the dsn file T3, and SelectPMItem it failed.

    #this is command log

    Capture> source [file normalize {G:/Cadence/Work/GetLastOpenedProject.tcl}]
    lDesignloc: {G:\CADENCE\WORK\TEST\T1.DSN} {G:\CADENCE\WORK\TEST\T2.DSN} {G:\CADENCE\WORK\TEST\T3.DSN} {G:\CADENCE\WORK\TEST\T4.DSN} {G:\CADENCE\WORK\TEST\T5.DSN}
    lDesgnLoc: G: CADENCE WORK TEST T5.DSN
    lDesignfromIndex: G:\CADENCE\WORK\TEST\T5.DSN
    lDesignName: T5.DSN

    Capture> ui::PMActivate "G:/CADENCE/WORK/TEST/T3.opj"
    Capture> [ 1]RuntimeError Item Not Found

    Hi CadAP,

    I puts this 3 variable, all the values look like not wrong.

    Now "set lTimeIndex 4", get the lDesignName T5.DSN, but Actually PMActivate file T3, and SelectPMItem failed.

    #the command log as below:
