Any material available for Learning the Skill coding?

I use solaris enivronment for my cadence tools, I donot know if this works for you.

Type cdsdoc in the terminal wondow and this should bring up  a new cdsdoc:library window. This contains links to most of the cadence documentation. In there, you should find a lot of documents related to SKILL.

 Another way is to download SKILL manuals from sourcelink.cadence.com (you need a sourcelink account for this).

The best way, I find, is getting hold of a skill program that works, and finding out how it works by tinkering with it. Cadence has programs written by users that you can download.

Of course you need to look at the manuals algroskill.pdf, sklanguser.pdf, and sklangref.pdf.

 Thanks Geof....i found that material good but what is the environment to write the code and practice....?

Thhanks in advance....

Sorry for the late reply!

You use a text editor to type in the code. Then load into Allegro with the Allegro.ilint file.

hope this helps... 

 You really don't need to load it into the allegro.ilinit, you can just load or reload at the command line in Allegro.

There is a huge library of SKILL code for Allegro here:

SKILL is actually fairly straightforward once you start playing with it.  The examples are great.  The documentation is quite exhaustive but the how to get started....well that's not there.  Pick an example closest to what you want to do and pick it apart understanding each line of code.  Post up here for help.
