How to create evenly spaced pins in Virtuoso?

Finn
I have a evenly spaced bus but their pin numbers are spaced larger than one, like A<1>, A<3>, A<5> ... I know I can create A<1:5> by specifying delta X or delta Y, but A<1:5:2> doesn't work here. Could someone help me? Thanks a lot!

  •  Hi,

    well apart from doing what you've said (using A<1:5>) and modifying the pitch so that when you remove the unwanted pins everything is correct, the only other suggestion that I can make is to use the leCreatePin() SKILL function with a wrapper around it to use it multiple times, once per pin.  You could use an enter function to gather points from the user (e.g. enterBox) and have a command form so that you can control the bus expansion part.  This might be a lot of work if you are not going to use it all the time, so I'd suggest using the first approach.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
