    You can use rodGetObj on a shape to see if it is a rod object (a multi-part path is a ROD object - Relative Object Design). You can also use rodGetNamedShapes on a cellview id to get all of the rodObjects in the cellview. From the rod object id, you can get the shape ids of all the sub-parts of that multi-part path. In this way you can treat these MPP shapes different from other shapes in your cell. However, as far as I know, there is not currently a way to copy the multi-part path in Skill code. You can copy it interactively using leHiCopy, but I don't think you can do it in a script. Maybe someone from Cadence can confirm this.

    Here is how you would get the shape ids that are in your MPPs in your cellView:
    cv = geGetEditCellView()
    rodParts = nil
    foreach(shp cv~>shapes
        when(r=rodGetObj(shp)
            foreach(subShp r~>subShapes
                rodParts = cons(subShp rodParts)
            )
        )
    )
