Assura DRC: How to Define derived layers

stuso

Hi there,

I'm wondering how you define your own variables/derived layers, e.g when i'm using this
command:

    newVia2_a = geomSize( VIA2 0.07 )

However Assura doesn't seem to like that i have not deifined "newVia2_a".

Can someone tell me the syntax to do this, i'm assuming it has to go in the  layerDefs section somehow.

Thanks

  • Hi Lawrence, 

    can you(or anyone out there) please ask the Assura guys if you cannot perform geomAnd on derived layers, so for example this would not work:

     drcExtractRules(

    layerDefs( "df2"

          OD          = layer( "OD" )

    ); end df2 layerDefs

        OD_1         = geomSize( OD 0.005 )
        OD_2        = geomAnd( OD_1 )
        saveDerived( OD_2 "TESTING OD_2 ")

    )

    This fails with:

     error:  No such original or unmerged layer 'OD_1'.

    When  i change the geomAnd to geomOr the code compiles (though of course its not what i want functionally).

    I read in the assura manual regarding geomAnd:

    " Description
    Generates new shapes from the overlap of original shapes on the input layers."

    So this perhaps infers that you indeed cannot geomAnd derived shapes?

    Cheers
