Abstract Generator

While I try to make abstract of metal with bend, the bend is not captured in abstract instead I have multiple squares created at the metal bend. Do we have a fix for this

    OK, I assume this is because you had a 45-degree angle in your pin (it would have been helpful to see the original layout).

    Anyway, older LEF versions had a restriction that pins had to be rectilinear. With newer LEF versions, you can turn off this fracturing - in the abstract UI it is when you do Flow->Abstract you can turn off (on the Fracture tab) the Fracture pins checkbox (the Help button at the bottom explains the various 45 degree geometry handling options):
