module add calibre

I hear Calibre can be added into Virtuoso by skill language. If done, there is calibre menu in Virtuoso windows. It can open calibre interface. But I don't know how to do. It is several skill sencence. Who can tell me? thinks.
 

virtuoso calibre

First you need to set this line:
setenv MGC_CALIBRE_LAYOUT_SERVER : < port number >
in your terminal.

Then open up your .cdsinit file and insert these lines
let( (scriptPath)
scriptPath = strcat( getShellEnvVar("MGC_HOME")
"/shared/pkgs/icv/tools/queryskl")
setSkillPath( cons( scriptPath getSkillPath() ) )
)
load( "calibre.skl" )


Then source both Cadence and calibre cshrc enviroment files in the terminal.

Open up the icfb/layout, then you will see a calibre pull down menu.

Hopes it help.

maybe you must write a text file which name is ".cdsinit". The file include a command that is to set the calibre paht in virtuso.

how to inteface calibre in icfb

My way:

Add the following two lines in the ~/.cdsinit file:

load "/mentor/ss5_cal_2005.2_6.10/shared/pkgs/icv.ss5/tools/queryskl/calibre.skl"
load "/mentor/ss5_cal_2005.2_6.10/shared/pkgs/icv.ss5/tools/queryskl/mgc_calibre_menu.skl"

Also the enironment variables for calibre such MGC_HOME should be set properly.

Added after 4 minutes:

The path of *.skl should be changed to yours.

load "/mentor/ss5_cal_2005.2_6.10/shared/pkgs/icv.ss5/tools/queryskl/calibre.skl"
load "/mentor/ss5_cal_2005.2_6.10/shared/pkgs/icv.ss5/tools/queryskl/mgc_calibre_menu.skl"
