Skill code for finding coordinates of selected instances in the layout

Vignesh054

 Hi,

 I need a skill script to find the co-ordinates of all selected instances in the layout?

Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks,

Vignesh T K

     Rather than bury this as a sub topic, why don't you ask it as a new topic.

     You will have to open the file and parse its format. fscanf can do that depending on the format. See the command in help documentation.

    The command to place instances is dbCreateInst.

     Depending on what you mean by checking if the layout is on grid, you may be better off using a DRC checker as there may be a lot of data to process. If it the concern is only the instance placement, snap it to grid before placing the instance.
