How could I write to OAS.gz file

arided

Dear Matthias:
I am coding the macro. When I excute a huge Boolean operation on layout. I met the job was kicked by administrator. So I need write a script to save the file. I check your batch cell file save. I modified like:

i=10
ly = RBA::Application::instance.main_window.current_view.active_cellview.layout
fn = "trial_" +i.to_s+".OAS.gz"
opt = RBA::SaveLayoutOptions::new
gzip = opt.set_format_from_filename(fn)
ly.write(fn, gzip, opt)

The error message showed the file option not defined. How could I define the OAS option?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
arided

Hi,
I finished to debug:

i=10
ly = RBA::Application::instance.main_window.current_view.active_cellview.layout

fn = "trial"+i.to_s+".OAS.gz"
opt = RBA::SaveLayoutOptions::new
opt.format="OASIS"
opt.oasis_compression_level=7
ly.write(fn, true, opt)

The 0.21.19 has a little bug is the layer datatype cannot be float. Otherwise, it cannot be saved in this code.

Hi Arided,

your solution is correct.

The set_format_from_filename method expects a lowercase ".oas.gz" to correctly set the format. But your solution works in every case.

Float layer and datatype number do not make much sense. You can convert a float however with "to_i" into an integer.

Regards,

Matthias
