How to generate SVG image file from a model schematic

SA Support Team Staff 2019-03-14

I noticed from the GLISTER’s on-line documentation that each XMODEL primitive has a pretty symbol. Is there a way to convert a model schematic consisting of XMODEL primitives to an image file displaying those symbols?

Yes, there is! In short, you can generate an SVG image file from the model schematic cellview currently being edited simply by executing the following command in the CIW:

xmsvgGenCellView()

For instance, if you execute the command for a model schematic cellview named 'tb_mix', the command will generate an SVG image file named 'tb_mix.svg' in the current working directory. You can open an SVG image file using a web browser such as firefox or chrome.

This feature is to support an automatic generation of documentations from model schematics. For your information, the full usage of xmsvgGenCellView() is:

xmsvgGenCellView( [<SVG filename>] [<cellview handle>] )

That is, you can specify the SVG image filename or the source cellview.
