Create a new layout using skill

[Manoj Venkatasubbu]

Hi,

I need to generate a library of macro layouts in skill. For this
purpose I need to be able to generate layout views from a skill
routine. I'm not able to do it using dbOpenCellViewByType("libName"
"cellName" "layout" "layout" "w"). I get an error message as such

*WARNING* dbOpenCellViewByType: Failed to map layout to fileName
I'm however able to generate a schematic without any error. For my
application I do not need to generate any schematics. I only need
layout views.

Could you tell me how I could do this.

Thanks,
Manoj.

Hi Manoj,

I do not have the documentation near by me in this moment,
but I think that you have to use something like:
dbOpenCellViewByType("libName" "cellName" "layout" "maskLayout" "w").

view type is in fact "maskLayout"

I had a similar problem when I've created for the first time a cell in
layout.

BR,
Marcel
