How to calculate the length of a routing which is in different metal connected through via

AmitBiswas
Hi, I am trying to find out the length of one routing by clicking at two points of that routing. Here the routing is in metal2 and metal3 connected through via23. Is there any way to check in SKILL that exactly where that metal is getting connected with other one through via. Consider that all are paths there is no rectangle or polygon. Is it possible to do it using only SKILL or I need to use Assura also.............? Thanks & Regards, Amit

    When I wrote this code I made the users select the entire net,  tough not intuitive it is more than enough for most chips we do. But if You want the tool to traverse the path then one way is to ivDRC to trace the entire net and save it a cell ( I'm guessing ivDRC save the result in a view) then just calculate the length of individual metals ( I hope its easy to differentiate which are metals and which are vias)  and sum it.

    Corrections are  welcome.
