Recognizing SKILL based layouts?

[Jackson Harvey]

I want to select all of the SKILL-based layouts in an opened layout cell
view. I cannot find any property that distinguishes such layouts from
"normal" layout. isParamCell seems to be nil, when I thought that would
be the property to check. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Jackson Harvey

If you're looking at the instances, you can tell if an instance is an instance
of a pcell, by checking if that instance's master has a superMaster.

setof(inst cv~>instances inst~>master~>superMaster)

The isParamCell will exist as a property on the superMaster - so you could check
that, but of course a master will only have a superMaster if it is built by a
pcell.
