multipart path with conics

I'd like to create a multipart path with conics. Right now, the form only allows me to use rectangular shapes for it. Is there a way to do this?

     Hi Mauricio,

    The rodCreatePath() function only supports subrectangle shapes (or other path shapes based on the master path).  To my knowledge there is no ROD support for conic, donut etc. shapes, only polygons, rectangles and paths.  Are you trying to create circular cut/via shapes?
    Perhaps if you provide some more detail some suggestions could be made?  Which version are you using, by the way?

    Regards,

    Lawrence.

    Hi Lawrence,

     yes, I'd like to create circular cut/via shapes. I'm using IC6.1.5.  

    thanks

    No. You could create a fluid Pcell instead (there's an app note on how to do this on support.cadence.com - although the examples in the app note are not fantastic).

    regards,

    Andrew
