Symbol view information in text format

AnnaS

Hi All,

Can you please help me find out:

Is it possible to get symbol view information in text format (like a coordinates list).

PS: To be more clear I would like to bring this example:

Using Design->Plot we can get *.ps file. Then convert it to pdf format and see symbol's graphical view.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Anna

    I am also not too clear on the purpose of this but if shape info is what you want, hope that the following can help you. Load the file, open a symbol and press F10. Look for the file "symbolinfo.txt". : )

    procedure( CCSsymbolInfo()
       let( (cv outPort sType sBbox pinName)
          cv=geGetWindowCellView()
          outPort=outfile("symbolinfo.txt")
          fprintf(outPort "Type\tbBox\tPin Name\n")
          fprintf(outPort "====\t====\t========\n")
          foreach(shape cv~>shapes
             sType=shape~>objType
             sBbox=shape~>bBox
             pinName=""
             if( shape~>pin~>name then
                pinName=shape~>pin~>name
             ) ;if
             fprintf(outPort "%s\t%L\t%s\n" sType sBbox pinName)
          ) ;foreach

          close(outPort)
          outPort=nil
          printf("Symbol info has been sent to file symbolinfo.txt")
       ) ;let
    ) ;procedure

    hiSetBindKey("Symbol" "F10" "CCSsymbolInfo()")



    === Sample output ===
    Type    bBox    Pin Name
    ====    ====    ========
    rect    ((-0.025 -0.025) (0.025 0.025)) IN
    line    ((0.0 0.0) (0.25 0.0))
    label   ((0.2875 -0.03125) (0.38125 0.03125))
    rect    ((1.85 -0.025) (1.9 0.025))     OUT
    line    ((1.625 0.0) (1.875 0.0))
