Positioning the instances in Layout editor by using SKILL

RFStuff

 Dear All,

I am trying to place copies of an instance/object ( say a simple via ) with 'x' distance separation in X-direction.

Is there any in-built feature already available in IC5141 ?

Otherwise, is there any solution ( SKILL script) already posted in the forum ? I searched but couldn't find so.

The code needs three functions:

1) Find the cordianate of the OBJECT/INSTANCE ( this I have already found in the Forum)

2) Copy the object. For this what is the SKILL function ?

3) Paste the desired distance separation ( For palcing wht is the simple SKILL function)

Couls anybody please tell regarding this.

Kind Regards,

     Dear Andrew,

    Thanks a lot.

    Yes, what you have mentioned, I want exactly that.

    One can copy and place by using dbCopyFig(),

    I actullay want something as follow:-

               I have a PATH running in MEx

              I want to run PATHs of different metal  undeneath/over it. The PATH may be of a) same width or b) different width

             For Same width:-

             obj=car(geGetSelSet())

              newPath=dbCopyFig(obj obj->cellView list(0:0 "R0" ))

              newPath~>layerName=sprintf(nil "ME%d",val)   

           It works fine.

             For different widh:-

             I think oneway is to change the bBox property  of the copied PATH.

            With this line of thought I did as follows:-

              newPath=dbCopyFig(obj obj->cellView list(0:0 "R0" ))

             bBoxNew=list(a:b c:d) % please note a,b,c,d are floating point desired co-ordinates

              newPath~>bBox=bBoxNew.

              However the above DID NOT WORK.

            Could you please tell what is the issue.

    Kind Regards,
