leLayerSize didn't work for pcell, is there any way around it?

kpai

Hi,

My current pmos pcell came with a fix NW around it, but due to our design need, we need to have an extra large NW from OD outward.

Therefore, I've use leLayerSize as following and hope that it will work.

cv=geGetEditCellView()

leLayerSize(cv list("OD" "drawing") 1.5 list("NW" "drawing"))

But, as the result, leLayerSize command didn't recoganize pmos and return me a nil.

As I tried to change the "display level" to 2 and wonder if leLayerSizer will work.  Still, it didn't work.

But, as I tried to cover the pmos device with OD over to whatever it came with it then set the leLayerSize command again.

This time it works and I saw the extra NW layer over it as I want to.

From this, I realized that leLayerSize didn't work on pcell.   Is there any way around it?

By the way, I'm using 5.10.41 version.

Thanks,

Kathy

  • Thanks Andrew!

     Please correct me if I'm wrong here.   I've test it out, but all I got are (db:xxxxx), no NW layer has been add.

    Here is what I have:

    cv=geGetEditCellView()

    inst=cv->instances

    OD=car(exists(lpp cv->lpps lpp->layerName=="OD" && lpp->purpose=="drawing"))

    ODshapes=foreach(mapcar shape OD->shapes dbCopyFig(shape cv inst->transform))

    dbLayerSize(cv "NW" ODshapes 1.5)

    foreach(shape ODshapes dbDeleteObject(shape))

     

    In this particular cellview, I've two pmos pcell instant in there.

     

    best regards,

    Kathy
