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,

  • I highly recommend looking into the documentation. Cadence has some great docs and online help. Try running cdsFinder from your shell window (or startFinder from your CIW window). In the search field, search for select. Look at the commands that start with ge for graphical editor. Other commands you find useful will start with hi, le, db, sch. It is usually easy to find what you need. Follow the tips listed earlier for looking at the attributes of objects. Use the Cadence docs for more details on commands. Then, answering your question is easy.

    cv = geGetEditCellView()
    foreach(inst cv~>instances
        geSelectFig(inst)
        printf("Inst name: %s  xy: %L  bBox: %L  cellName %s\n" inst~>name inst~>xy inst~>bBox inst~>cellName)
    )
