symbol view from schematic

Hi all,

I searched a lot and method to create a cellview "symbol" from
schematic.
i want to use from the schematic editor, create --> cellview --> From
cellview

It would be nice to get some hint regarding the same to implement it
in skill.

Thanks a lot

Hi Dinac,

The function you are looking for is schViewToView.
It is documented in the “Virtuoso® Schematic Editor SKILL Functions
Reference” book as following

schViewToView(
t_sourceLibName
t_sourceCellName
t_libName
t_cellName
t_viewFrom
t_viewTo
t_fromFunc
t_toFunc
)
=> t | nil

Basically, what you need is just to provide this function with the
functions that will run the translation from a given view to another
view. Following the example given in the doc, one understands that the
functions needed are: "schSchemToPinList" and "schPinListToSymbol". In
other words, creating a symbol from a schematic would require a
function that create a pin list from a schematic and then create a
symbol from that pin list. Both "schSchemToPinList" and
"schPinListToSymbol" are documented in the doc I mentioned above.

So if you want to create a "symbol" view out of a "schematic" view, in
same lib/cell, then you may try:
schViewToView("libName" "cellName" "libName" "cellName" "schematic"
"symbol" "schSchemToPinList" "schPinListToSymbol")

Does this sound good for you?
Let me know otherwise!

Cheers,
Riad.

 

hi Riad,

Thanks a lot, Riad.
I appreciate your help.
This is what , i was looking for. I need this to generate for a io
library.
