=> w_windowId / nil 

Description

Opens an existing cellview in a window.

If a configuration cellview is given as an argument, a SKILL symbol named 'hierEditor is returned. The value for 'hierEditor varies based on the type of cellview opened.

• When a configuration cellview as well as a top level schematic is opened, the return value of hierEditor is the window ID of the open top level schematic.
• When only a top level schematic is opened (without opening a configuration cellview), the value of hierEditor is the window ID of the open top level schematic.
• When only a configuration cellview is opened in the hierarchy editor (a top level schematic is not opened) the value of hierEditor is t.
• When neither a configuration or schematic is opened, the value of hierEditor is nil.

If the open failed, nil is returned.

Arguments

t_libName	The name of the library in which the cellview is opened.

t_viewName	The view name of the cellview.
t_viewType	The type of the cellview.
g_winSpec	The window in which to open the cellview.
t_accessMode	The mode in which to open the cellview. "a" (edit), "r" (read), and "w" (clears the old data and edit from scratch).

Value Returned

w_windowId	The cellview opens.
nil	The cellview did not open.
