Skill code for calculating length of a path with bends

Zebib

 I am trying to calculate the length of a given path with many bends using a skill code.

Thanks

  • What does the "length" of a rectangle mean? Unless you know the direction, you don't know which is the "length" and which is the "width".

    With a rectangle object you have the ~>bBox attribute - from that it's easy to compute the length of each side.

    For a polygon, I've no idea what "length" means.

    In order to learn more about SKILL:

    1. Read the SKILL User Guide in the documentation
    2. Look at examples on Cadence Online Support (support.cadence.com) - particularly in the Resources section at the top
    3. Look on this forum
    4. Look on the comp.cad.cadence usenet news group (look on google groups)
    5. Attend a SKILL Language Programming class (follow the Education link at the top of the page)
    6. Experiment (in conjunction with the documentation)
    7. Experiment some more... 

    Regards,

    Andrew.
