How to get width of a polygon?

ToMWUT

Hello,


I've got a shape which is type polygon. In fact it is path, but after the extraction process in my SKILL data base structures it is recognized as a polygon. Now my question: is it possible to get a width of such a “path” which in fact is a polygon. I know that object path, has property width, but such a property doesn't have polygon. Correct me if I'm wrong but maybe, some cast from polygon to path would be possible... Any assistance would be much appreciated.


Thanks,

ToM

  • This is the kind of thing QRC can do for you if extracting resistances - it can calculate the width of a parasitic resistor (useful if you want to then check electromigration, as is done in the Cadence VAVO tool).

    Otherwise, I wrote some SKILL ages ago to convert a polygon back into a path. It's not pretty, but it works... 

    It's in sourcelink solution number  11037248

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.
