The Load Physical View Command

The File – Load Physical View command lets you import into the current cellview predefined information from another layout cellview, known as a source physical cellview. This approach lets you

• Use the full range of functionality available through the Virtuoso Layout Suite graphical user interface or the public SKILL API to create and edit the source cellview. You no longer need to manually edit an ASCII template file.
• Extend the functionality to accommodate new database objects as they are developed.
• Use any existing layout cellview as the source cellview.

There is no mechanism to resolve inconsistencies in the technology data referenced by the source cellview and the target cellview – both must use the same technology database.
