Description

Generates a schematic view from an imported netlist view.

The values of the following environment variables are taken from the .cdsenv file, by default. However, you can modify the values of these variables to customize the appearance of a schematic.

• dest_symbol_view_name
• ref_lib_list
• log_file_name
• import_if_exists
• sheet_symbol
• line_line_spacing
• line_component_spacing
• density_level
• label_height
• page_col_limit
• page_row_limit
• pin_placement
• full_place_and_route
• optimize_wire_label_locn
• minimize_crossovers
• generate_square_schematic
• extract_schematic
• verbose
• asg_options
• power_net
• ground_net
• power_symbol
• ground_symbol

If you do not specify the dest_sch_lib, dest_cell_name, or dest_view_name, or if these parameters are empty or set to nil, then the values for these parameters are taken from the .cdsenv file. If the values for these parameters in the .cdsenv file are invalid, then the schematic is saved in the specified src_sch_lib with the specified src_cell_name.

If you specify a parameter file, conn2sch ignores the log_file_name parameter, if specified in the file. The tool saves the errors and log messages in the file specified using the log_file_name environment variable. If you set the log_file_name environment variable to "", its default value, conn2sch.log, is used.

Arguments

t_srcLibName	Specifies the source library name.
t_srcCellName	Specifies the cell name to be imported.
t_srcViewName	Specifies the view name to be imported.
?destLibName t_destLibName
	Specifies the destination library name.
?destCellName t_destCellName
	Specifies the destination cell name.
?destViewName t_destViewName
	Specifies the destination view name. The default value is schematic.
?block t_block	Specifies if conn2Sch needs to wait until import is complete. The default value is nil.
?paramFile t_paramFile
	Specifies the parameter file. The default value is nil.
?cdslib t_cdslib	Specifies the cdslib file. The default value is nil.

Values Returned

t	The command was successful.
nil	The command was unsuccessful or an error was reported.
