Wondering how to use DESIGNrev Tcl commands with scripts in batch mode?
Here are some very simple templates you can use to get started.
For command-line execution with user input:
#===================================
# user input from command line
if {$argc != 1} {
puts "Error: wrong # of arguments"
exit
}
set input [lindex $argv 0]
set L [layout create $input]
#add Tcl code here
#===================================
Save as a .tcl file and execute with:
$MGC_HOME/bin/calibredrv <filename>.tcl <layout_filename>
For command-line execution with layout name hard-coded into the tcl script:
#===================================
# Use if layout name is known
set L [layout create lab2.gds]
#add tcl code here
#===================================
Save to a file and execute in batch mode from the command line in a terminal window with:
$MGC_HOME/bin/calibredrv <filename.tcl>
Or, if DESIGNrev is currently running, execute from the DESIGNrev Tcl shell as:
% source <filename.tcl>
For Tcl shell execution if layout is currently open in DESIGNrev:
#===================================
#Use if layout is currently open in DESIGNrev
set cwb [find object -class cwbWorkBench]
set L [$cwb cget -_layout]
#add tcl code here
#===================================
Save to a file with the .tcl extension and execute from DESIGNrev Tcl shell as:
% source <filename.tcl>
