writeall [force]
The writeall command generates a popup dialog prompting for action on writing each cell definition in the layout hierarchy to disk. As shown in the figure below, the popup dialog presents five choices:
- write
- Writes the single cell and continues the prompting for the next cell.
- flush
- Reverts the cell to what was originally on the disk, like the flush command. Continues prompting for the next cell.
- skip
- No action for the indicated cell definition; continue prompting for the next cell.
- abort
- Stop all writing and terminate the command with no further prompting or processing.
- autowrite
- Write all the cells, with no further prompting.
With the option write force, the command writes all cells in the hierarchy with no prompting.![]()
