How to send points from layout window to draw a multipart path

infy

Hi ,

 I would like to create a MultiPart path ,by selecting points  from layout window and send it to the proceedure which creates MPP.So could you please specify ,how to take a point and send it list of such points so that I can create MultiPart Path in the path specified by those points.

Thanks & Regards,

Infy

  •  The command you want to use is enterPath. The steps you want to take are documented in the Relative Object Design Users Guide, there is a very good example on exactly what you want to do.

  • At the risk of criticism, I will repeat myself here and point you to a useful solution that contains an example of using enterPath() to gather points from the user and pass these on to a call to the rodCreatePath() function that creates a Multi Part Path.  Here is the solution code:

    CIC SKILL Code Library page: CCSslotMetal.il

    And here is the link to the full SourceLink solution:

    How can I created slotted metal paths?

  • Hi infy You can create your own customized Multipart Path following the above mentioned way .There is one more way by which you can do the same. If you are facing problem in only passing the point to the MPP then you can you use this command "leDefineMPPTemplate" . Here you don't have to pass the points, it will work in interactive mode just like during drawing a path user is able to see the path. Basically "leDefineMPPTemplate" and "rodCreatePath" command's syntax are similar Syntax of "leDefineMPPTemplate" tech=techGetTechFile(geGetEditCellView()) leDefineMPPTemplate( ?techId tech ?name Multipartpath_Name ; it should be a string ?layer list("prBoundary" "drawing") ; Master layer name normally set it to peBoundary ?width MPP_Width ?choppable t ?endType "flush" ?beginExt 0.000000 ?endExt 0.000000 ?justification "center" ?offset 0.000000 ?offsetSubPath offsetSubPath_list ?subRect SubRect_list ) ; end of leDefineMPPTemplate Syntax of "rodCreatePath" layername=list("prBoundary" "drawing") Points=list(list of points) rodCreatePath( ?name MPP_Name ; it should be a string ?layer layer_name ; this is the master layer name ?pts Points ?width layer_Width ; master layer width ?justification "center" ?cvId cv ?offsetSubPath offsetSubPath_list ?subRect SubRect_list ) ;end rodCreatePath only difference in "rodCreatePath" is you have to pass the Points of the MPP to the ?pts field, which is done by enterPath() function. I hope this will solve your problem. please refer "sklayoutref.pdf" to learn more about these commands Regards, Amit
  • I don't know why this format gets changed. To get the original format to understand better click on "Reply" then click on "Quote" , you will get the original format the way I have written. In the next reply I have attached the text file . Sorry for the inconvenience .......
