    Hi,
    I want to check if a cellview exists for a given
    libName-cellName-viewName .

    This could be done by checking the return value of
    dbOpenCellViewByType().This one prints a warning message every time it
    could not find a cellview.Is there any other function that would just
    check if a cellview exists and returns t/nil .

    regards,
    Suresh.

    ddGetObj returns the design data ID if the object exist or nil if not

    ddGetObj(
    { t_libName/nil }
    [ t_cellName/nil ]
    [ t_viewName/nil ]
    [ t_fileName/nil ]
    [ b_contextId/nil ]
    [ t_mode ]
    )
    => b_ddId

    Also see my sourcelink solution 11026564 which shows a way to suppress the
    warnings.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
