dbGetAnyInstSwitchMaster

dbGetAnyInstSwitchMaster( 
d_anyInst 
t_viewList 
) 
=> d_cellView / nil 

Description

Switches into a different view of a master cell instance and opens the corresponding cellview.

The cell and library names are the same as the ones for the master of instance d_anyInst. If the cellview to switch into is not a parameterized cell, this function behaves the same way as opening that cellview through dbOpenCellViewByType. If it is a parameterized cell, the cellview returned has the same values as d_anyInst.

Arguments

d_anyInst	Instance of a master from which a different view is desired.
t_viewList	A string listing view names to switch into.

Values Returned

d_cellView	A different view of a master cell instance if successful.
nil	No other view exists or an error occurs.

Examples

Switch into a schematic view from a symbol.

schCV = dbGetAnyInstSwitchMaster(inst "schematic")
