RE: Sense gate metal1 in pcell(lowest hierarchy) and draw metal1 path to...
In addition to what Tom said you might try looking at the rod* SKILL functions - each instance has a rod ID and you may be able to query shapes (like pins) inside of the PCell. By the way, if you...

RE: Change color/width of selected net via SKILL code
Hi Lawrence, Thank you for your reply. This is certainly going in the right direction. However, this command would only change the color of the selected wire segment. My idea is to change the color of...

RE: Efficiency of associative array
The simulator uses various algorithms and optimisations for these things, there isn't any end-user control over them. I would suggest that you file a support ticket and share a testcase with the...

RE: Change color/width of selected net via SKILL code
I should also point out (me being Mr. Pedantic) that the mapcar keyword is unnecessary here because you're not using the return value of the foreach. It actually costs more (a little) to collect the...

RE: need document regarding voltage sources and it usage (vdc, vpulse..etc)
This is a rather open-ended question. Did you look at /doc/analoglibref/analoglibref.pdf (or search in the Virtuoso Help menu for "analogLib" - you'll find one of the hits is Analog Library Reference -...

RE: How to invoke the geSaveAllForm?
It’s probably more of a UNIX-style approach to have a set of cooperating separate processes which are focussed on an individual task. So for a long time there have been external processes that allow...

RE: How is the netlisting done in ADE
This is a bit of an open-ended question, and it also depends on which netlister choice you’re using for AMS. For the newer UNL (Unified Netlister) it uses a combination of the Verilog netlister and the...

RE: How to corrupt a GDS with dbCreateParamInst
The numInst parameter creates the instance as a vector rather than a single instance. For layouts, that's a bit pointless, but for schematics you end up with a vectored name. I don't know what you mean...

RE: Change color/width of selected net via SKILL code
Very true. I used the mapcar during development/testing to check the return values of the function inside the loop, but left it in. Sometimes I wrap the foreach(mapcar ... with a "forall" to gain the...

RE: Long symbol label expressions disrupting Zoom to Fit
Although not answering your question, you could create a simple function that is a wrapper around the code that you mentioned such that the function name is short. The code for this can be located in...
