SKILL IDE#

Virtuoso has a built in SKILL IDE which is the default editor for SKILL views. However it does take a Cadence SKILL development license and only a limited number of licenses are available.

Gedit SKILL Text Editor#

Gedit is included as another editor option. It is just a text editor and is not as powerful as the SKILL IDE. However it doesn’t require a license.
