Hi,
Is it somehow possible to store design variables of a cell in a config-like cellview or file?
Here is what I mean: Suppose I design a simple opamp for I which create a triangle symbol view and use it in many other places. Now when I design the amplifier I have all the widths, lengths, bias currents in my ADE L view as Design Variables. I can sweep them until they match and then I fix them. Now, 2 weeks later I need to change the amplifier. I need to replace all the static values by design variables, design the amplifier and re-replace the values again with their static values.
This is extremely error prone (and I always make mistakes), particularly since so many values are interrelates (e.g. the widths in a differential configuration are the same and the biasing branches are just some multiple).
What I envison is some sort of pPar which takes the actual values from a config file or config cell view. Then it's also way easier to keep an overview on the design and archive specs.
What I do not want: Store the values in an scs file and use "Simulation files". It just does not work because ADE L always imports the design variables into the window and then simulation fails if if they are not set (and if they are set, they overwrite the values from the scs file). Supposedly copyDesignVarsFromCellview should fix this (see ) but this is just ignored. (Even if, I would not consider it a clean solution
