Skill code for Off Grid errors

Hi Kashvi,

You can use Turbo Toolbox (TTB) to fix the off grid issues.

TTB->Change Options->Fix Off Grid

 Thanks for the info. How!..Actually I have done with the Layout and some of the wires are on offgrid.

instead of searching each one,  I want to move the layout itself on grid.

Hi Kashvi,

It is the same. You can select all (bindkey: Ctrl-a ) and use the tool to fix grid for you. You not need to fix it one by one.

Just let me know if you have other concern.

 Hi How,

I'm not able to find TTB, I tried to display it with hiDisplayFixedMenu(Toolbox_Menu "left")..

It says unbound variable

Regds,

Hi Kashi,

I believe u doesn't have Turbo Toolbox in your virtuoso. To solve the off grid issue, use the code below.

;;---------------------------------------------------------

;; Process each selected object and fix the off grid issue

;;---------------------------------------------------------

procedure( howFixOffGrid(@optional (selset geGetSelSet()))

foreach( obj selset()

howPutObjOnGrid(obj car(howSnapGetGrids()) cadr(howSnapGetGrids()) 0 0)

);foreach

);proc

 

;;--------------------------------------

;; Get manufacturing grid from techFile

;;;-------------------------------------

procedure( howSnapGetGrids(@optional (cv geGetEditCellView()))

let(( grids grid (dft list(0.001 0.001)) )

if( cv then

grid = techGetMfgGridResolution(techGetTechFile(cv))

grids = list(grid grid)

else

grids = dft

)

grids

);let

);proc

 

;;----------------------------

;; Process input obj to grid

;;----------------------------

procedure( howPutObjOnGrid(obj @optional

(gridX 0.001)

(gridY 0.001)

(offsetX 0.0)

(offsetY 0.0))

let(( changeFlag newPoints newObj)

case( obj~>objType

(("rect")

when( (newPoints = _howPutObjOnGridGtPts( obj~>bBox gridX gridY offsetX offsetY ))

obj~>bBox = newPoints

changeFlag = t

);when

)

(("stdVia")

when( (newPoints = _howPutObjOnGridGtPts( list(obj~>origin) gridX gridY offsetX offsetY ))

obj~>origin = car(newPoints)

changeFlag = t

);when

newObj~>net = obj~>net

dbDeleteObject(obj)

How to use:

1. Copy and load the script in CIW

2. Select all object in your current cell view

3. type command in ciw: howFixOffGrid()

How

 Hi How,

Thanks for the code!..

-K 

Hi, How.

In using you script, I got the error message as follows:
*Error* eval: undefined function -selset

Is there anything wrong in my side? I load the file in CIW and it returns "t".
Then I select all the shapes in the layout and type howFixOffGrid().

Thanks！
Jifeng

Hi JiFeng,

The "selset" is a variable for selected object in cell view or user input. Please make sure u select object at the cell view, then go to CIW to execute the command. It should work.

How

Hi, How

Thanks for the reply.
I am sure I select the polygons in the layout view, but still got the same error message.

But I found a similar script in the sourcelink and it works, ^_^.
