Need skill code to find the instance orientation from Virtuoso

Aksalara

Hi All,

          I have a Virtuoso layout and I would like to know the orientation of each instance in the design. I need to find out if its MX or MY or R0 or R180, R90, etc..

[I searched in this forus some info is available on the orientation, but couldn't get to the correct one.]

Appreciate your help in this regard.

Thanks.

Ramanath

    You requested "skill code to find the instance orientation from Virtuoso", yet it sounds like you want to get the orientation from the gdsii file. Reading gdsii and running Skill code in Virtuosos are two very different tasks. If you wish to read the gdsii, I suggest you do a Google search  on GDSII syntax. I know there is a Perl module on CPAN for reading GDSII. Nonetheless, this forum is not the right place for what you are looking for.
