    Is it possible to find the cellviewtype of a cellview given that I know
    only the ddId of the cellview.

    ddId = ddGetObj("MyLibName" "MyCellName" "MyViewName")

    I am checking if this is pointing to a "schematic" viewType by checking
    the value of member("sch.cdb" ddId->files~>name)

    Is there any other /clean/ way of doing this.

    regards,
    Suresh

    Suresh,

    ddId=ddGetObj("MyLibName" "MyCellName" "MyViewName" "*")
    ddMapGetFileViewType(ddId)

    will do it.

    The "*" tells it to get the file object for the master file, and then the second
    function does the mapping using the registry.

    Andrew.
