modify CDF for all pcells in library

I would like to go through all the pcells in my library and change all
the ?editable "nil" to ?editable "t", is it possible to use a skill
script to do this, instead of the edit->CDF menu in the CIW?

 

Hi vtcad,

You might be interested in trying the following code.
Just load it and give a try as following:
CIW> RKsetCdfAttribute(libName 'editable t)

; RKsetCdfAttribute.il Skill file Starts here
procedure( RKsetCdfAttribute(libName attribute value)
foreach(cell ddGetObj(libName)~>cells~>name
RKsetCdfAttributeByCell(libName cell attribute value)
)
t
)

procedure( RKsetCdfAttributeByCell(libName cellName attribute value)
let((cellId cdfId (needSave nil))
printf("Processing cell %s - %s \n" libName cellName)
cellId=ddGetObj(libName cellName)
when(and(cellId cellId~>isWritable)
cdfId=cdfGetBaseCellCDF(cellId)
foreach(parameter cdfId->parameters
when(member(attribute getq(parameter ?))
unless(getq(parameter attribute)==value
putpropq(parameter value attribute)
printf("%s->%s has been set to %L\n"
parameter->name attribute getq(parameter attribute))
)
)
)
when(needSave
cdfSaveCDF(cellId)
)
)
t
)
)
; Skill ends here

Cheers,

Hi vtcad,

Do you want to set the ?editable "t" for all the CDF parameters ?
You are very likely to end up with a read-only components ...

Anyway, here after a Skill script that does what you are asking.
Just copy/paste the code into a file, load it and try the following
into the CIW:
CIW> RKsetCdfAttribute(libName 'editable t)
This command will parse all the cells of a lib and sets the editable
attributes to t when needed. Again, this will do it for all the
parameters, which is not a good idea unless there is a specific need.
In case you want to process a certain parameter only, then try:
CIW>

In case you want to run the script on a given parameter only, then try
something similar to:
CIW> RKsetCdfAttributeByParam("myLib" "w" 'editable t)

Also, this script parses all the cells in the lib, not aonly those
with pcells. You my need to add a setof to run the script on cells
with layout view only if you want.
I unfortunately don't know how to tell whether a layout view
corresponds to a Pcell, Someone may help on this to make it more
optimized. In fact, the only thing I know that tells me a layout is
Pcell is one I select an instance and find the superMaster on it,
which is not the case in here. I'm pretty much sure there would be
something to do this ...

I suspect the term "pcell" was not necessarily being used accurately - he may
not have been referring to pcells after all.

Anyway, to find out whether a layout master is a pcell, do:

cv=dbOpenCellViewByType("libName" "cellName" "viewName")
cv~>isParamCell

This will return t if it's a pcell.
