SKILL code to pare down a library to its essentials

    We have a need to pare down many libraries (which are used
    in test cases) to their bare essentials (only what's used).

    We know about the "cdsLibDebug -cla" & "clsAdminTool -ale"
    & CDBA squishDB & defragment & tree commands ... but ...

    Given a top-level hierarchical DFII library/cell/view, do
    you know of a program which will create an archive of JUST
    the 'objects' used in that library/cell/view (including a
    copy of JUST the reference library components needed)?

    The intent is NOT to create a single library, but, to
    DUPLICATE the library structure without any extraneous
    cell views, pcells, backup files, lock files, etc.

    Any hints?

    You could do a hierarchical copy in Library Manager. Select the top
    level cell and copy it hierarchically to a temp library, clear out the
    original library then move or copy it back. This will work as long as
    you have a cell which contains all the nesessary sub-cells.
