extract connectivity using skill

Hi all,

I am a new Skill User, iam trying to write a code for extracting a net from one cellview and put it into a different cellview (only the extracted net). i have read some previous threads but most of them were pointed to VXL. i do not have a VXL licence. so can anyone hint me how to extract a net using skill in VLE.

 

thanks

    Hi Lawrence,

    Thank you very much for the outline. i have worked according to your outline with the following functions but held up at recursion,

    1) I selected an object from the layout by using obj=car(selectedSet())

    2) then i have done an overlap function for this by using list1 = dbGetTrueOverlaps(cv obj~>bBox list("m1" "drawing"))

    3) similar to step 2 i have done all the overlaps for m2 m3 and poly. Here i have got a problem that if i use a search level 0:4, the vias in the layout are also selected and when iam using a dbCopyFig() function it says that the vias are not dbObjects. can u help me why it not copying vias.

    4) At this point i have list4 whish contains all the dbobjects which overlap with my selected objects.

    5) Now if i want to know what objects are overlapping these list of objects, i'll be using a foreach , do u think we can do this in different way.

    please do comment or advise on these steps

    Thank you

    Regards

    Harish
