Hi,

I recently started work on SKILL in cadence. It seems interesting, from what i learnt in the Manual for SKILL everything done on cadence passes via a SKILL Interpreter.

I am wondering is it possible to write (SKILL scripts) - (hope the term script is appropriate) to automate a layout.

Atleast that is what motivated me to learn SKILL.

What are the other cool things one can do with SKILL. Thanks for your time.
 

looks interesting..Do you mean that all the cadence tools work on this skill interpreter not on tcl interpreter?
 

Well it seems that way.
I found this script in a tutorial to generate a rectangle Active, using Skilll in virtuosos.

I am getting a syntax error though. it did give me the pointer Id for the layout.

I am not a computer science guy. but from what i understood it retrieves pointed id for the current layout session. uses a function called dbCreateRect to draw a rectangle.

Here is the snippet please see if you can debug it.

cvID = geGetWindowCellView()
dbCreateRect(cvID list( "Active" "drawing" ) list( 10:0 20:10 ) )
