new to skill scripting

fixrouter4400

 Hi People,

Is there a way to script in virtuoso layout a keepout layer. To make sure that there is no other layers or instance outside my design outline or area.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

  • So what tools are you using? Is this IC5141 or IC613 based (because the objects are different between the two). Are you using a router such as VCAR (Virtuoso Chip Assembly Router) or VSR (Virtuoso Space Based Router). Or is this for placement?

    Really needs more details before being able to give you a general answer. In IC613 you can create blockages using Create->P&R Objects->Blockage (say), but that isn't going to be relevant if you're using IC5141.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  •  Hi Andrew,

    I'm using IC5141 and not using VCAR just normal Virtuoso Layout Editor Tool. It's something like a general check(i.e DRC check) to make sure that there are no foreign layers/instances/text/etc outside my design outline after I've done my layout. I can actually check my layout manually by selecting all layers and make sure there are no layers, etc outside my design outline area. But I want it to do it in skill scripting and want to learn more about skill.

    I hope I have given you enough info.

    cheers,
