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 you wrote what code? The only code I saw is what I posted.  It is difficult to comment or correct on invisible code.

  •  I meant the code that I wrote when I was given the same spec. I did not post the code here but I just gave the suggestion.

  • ist(
                ?layer     list("psdm" "drawing")
                ?enclosure    -0.150000
                ?choppable    nil
                ?beginOffset     0.000000
                ?endOffset     0.000000
                )
            )

    The above one gives psdm enclosing 0.15 on both the sides..but i want it only on side..what should i do for that..?

    Thanks

  • Do it as an offset subpath rather than an enclosure subpath. Then you can specify ?sep and ?width to control the separation (sideways offset) and width of the path.

  • where can i see all the options available ...i just want to see other options and syntax of this...

    thanks,

  • That's what we have documentation for!

    You can find a very short summary by using the command "cdsFinder" from the UNIX prompt, or the SKILL function startFinder() in the CIW. Then search for rodCreatePath.

    Or you can use cdnshelp (if IC613) or cdsdoc (if IC5141). See  this post where it was discussed a few days ago.

    If you can't get the documentation to work, look in <ICinstDir>/doc/roduser/roduser.pdf

  • Hi,

    For a path i could do only beginoffset and end offset. I was not able to give just offset. I have attached a pic. In that i am looking for the bottom condition..

    Thanks,
    Bharath.

  • Hi Bharath,

    There wasn't a picture, so I can't really see what your problem was. The begin and end offset arguments are for controlling the offset and the beginning and end of the path - i.e. in the direction of the path. As I said before, if you want to offset the path sideways, you need to use an offset subpath with the ?sep and ?width arguments.

    So without a picture, and without the code sample of what you actually tried, it's not possible to explain to you what to do, because your requirements are still unclear - I can only assume I've misunderstood your requirements, which is why the picture and code would help.

    Regards,

    Andrew
