Delete a cell in SKILL

[Taivo Saarts]

Hi,

In my SKILL procedure I created a temporary cell using
dbOpenCellViewByType(lib cell view "maskLayout" "w") function.


How can I delete this cell afterwards?


Any help appreciated,

Taivo.

d_cell = ddGetObj( lib cell )
ddDeleteObj( d_cell )

Within the same procedure that does the cellview create you can just
assign the result to a local variable and use a dbClose command
without a dbSave command.

let( ( cv )

cv = dbOpenCellViewByType(lib cell view "maskLayout" "w")

;--- do not do a dbSave on the cv

dbClose( cv )

) ; let

If it still shows up in the Library Manager, do a View->Refresh in the
Library Manager window.

If you need to do a Save on the cellview then Bernd's solution will
work.
