Batch save of cells

Matthias

I was asked how to save multiple cells in batch mode.

Here's a short script:

ly = RBA::Application::instance.main_window.current_view.active_cellview.layout

cells = [ "TOP", "TEXT", "TEXT$1", "TEXT$2" ]

cells.each do |c|

  cell = ly.cell_by_name(c)
  fn = c + ".gds"

  opt = RBA::SaveLayoutOptions::new
  gzip = opt.set_format_from_filename(fn)
  opt.add_cell(cell)

  puts "Writing #{fn} ..."
  ly.write(fn, gzip, opt)

end

This example saves the specified cells of the current layout to files with the name ".gds". The cells are written including their hierarchy below to given cell.
