Layer Generation of Multiple Layers in Virtuoso

Tom Sawyer
Tom Sawyer over 4 years ago

Hi Cadence Forum,

On Virtuoso, is it possible to generate multiple layers based on an existing polygon?
For example, there is an existing prboundary boundary and I would like to generate m1block drawing, m2block drawing etc. with the same shape as the prboundary boundary.

    Hi Andrew Beckett,
    Good morning

    I was looking for a similar SKILL script, but for deletion of layers.
    My idea is to replace

         dbCreatePolygon(cvId lpp points)

    with

         leHiDelete(cvId lpp points)

    But it is not working.

    Please help.

    Best regards,
    Tom

    Tom,

    That won't work, because leHiDelete takes a window id as an optional argument, not cvId, layer-purpose and points. It's intended to be an interactive function.

    I've no idea what you're trying to do here - the code is intended to create new shapes on a layer from the points on a prBoundary object. I don't know what you're trying to delete, or why you'd start from the points of the prBoundary.
