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,

    As I said, changing the bBox makes no sense for a path, because it is computed from the width/points of the shape, and so is a derived parameter rather than something that defines the shape.

    If you want to offset from an existing path, you would probably be better off using rodCreatePath to do it. I suggest you read the documentation for this function (as it is quite powerful and has a lot of options, and there's no point me repeating the documentation in the forum when you can read the details yourself). This would allow you to create a path separated from the original path, which follows the bends of the original path correctly.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
