Metal co-ordinates of a PCELL

Vignesh054 over 15 years ago

Hi,

Is it possible to get the metal && poly co-rdinates of a Pcell without flattening the Pcell?

also is it possible to select a instance at a particular co-ordinate using Skill?

Thanks,

Hi Vignesh,
If you have the instance id, you can do:
instId~>master~>shapes
or
instId~>master~>lpps
to find each layer-purpose-pair, and then find the shapes on each layer. Having done that, you could use things like dbTransformPoint or dbTransformBBox to transform the coordinates to the top level coordinate system, passing instId~>transform as the transform argument.
Essentially instId~>master is pointing at the subMaster of the pcell - i.e. the particular variant.
To select something a fixed point use:
point=20:79
geAddSelectPoint(hiGetCurrentWindow() nil point)
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi Vignesh,
Something similar was discussed very recently. See this append by skillUser and my subsequent append.
Come back again if it's still not clear after reading that.
Best Regards,
Andrew.
