Pin searching in the layout top

Hi there,

 I am planning to find the pin in my top layer using Skill in IC5141 following is my simple skill

 pinLayerList = list (list (MEAL1 "PIN") (METAL5 "PIN"))

and i am using the following to capture my pin

 foreach (pinLay pinLayerList

allPins = appened (allPins leSearchHierarchy(cvId cvId~> bBox 0 "rectangle" list(list("layer" "==" pinLay))))

)

However instead of return Metal1 and Metal5 pins it returns all my other drawinig layer in the top, please kindly point out what is wrong with my scripts. Thank you very much.

 Regards,

    Hi Quek,

    Great to hear from you again, its been a long time. i have tried to use "pin" as your first suggestion but the problem is, it returns nothing but nil. i have also check on the user guide itself where i don't see "pin" as one of the option in leSearchHierarchy function. i will try on your second suggestion, although i hope to get the 'leSearchHierarchy' done as this scripts might also need to search the pin down to more hierarchy.

     Thank you for your suggestion very much.

     Best regards,

    MF
