    Hi,

    I need to generate a library of macro layouts in skill. For this
    purpose I need to be able to generate layout views from a skill
    routine. I'm not able to do it using dbOpenCellViewByType("libName"
    "cellName" "layout" "layout" "w"). I get an error message as such

    *WARNING* dbOpenCellViewByType: Failed to map layout to fileName
    I'm however able to generate a schematic without any error. For my
    application I do not need to generate any schematics. I only need
    layout views.

    Could you tell me how I could do this.

    Thanks,
    Manoj.

    Hi Manoj,

    I do not have the documentation near by me in this moment,
    but I think that you have to use something like:
    dbOpenCellViewByType("libName" "cellName" "layout" "maskLayout" "w").

    view type is in fact "maskLayout"

    I had a similar problem when I've created for the first time a cell in
    layout.

    BR,
    Marcel
