SKILL code to pare down a library to its essentials

[Poly Diffusion]

We have a need to pare down many libraries (which are used
in test cases) to their bare essentials (only what's used).

We know about the "cdsLibDebug -cla" & "clsAdminTool -ale"
& CDBA squishDB & defragment & tree commands ... but ...

Given a top-level hierarchical DFII library/cell/view, do
you know of a program which will create an archive of JUST
the 'objects' used in that library/cell/view (including a
copy of JUST the reference library components needed)?

The intent is NOT to create a single library, but, to
DUPLICATE the library structure without any extraneous
cell views, pcells, backup files, lock files, etc.

Any hints?

You could do a hierarchical copy in Library Manager. Select the top
level cell and copy it hierarchically to a temp library, clear out the
original library then move or copy it back. This will work as long as
you have a cell which contains all the nesessary sub-cells.
