  • Hi Avinash,

    Another way to do this is with a MultiPart Path (MPP).  You can create one interactively using the Create -> Multipart path menu then press F3 to make sure that the options form is visible.  You define the "master path" and then the others would be offset subpaths that you add the details for using the "Subpart" button on the main "Create Multipart Path" form.

    You can test the path interactively and modify it until you get it right.  Once you are happy with it, you can save this to a template so that you don't have to repeat all the work again.

    The MPP can be created through SKILL using a call to the rodCreatePath() function. If you saved the interactive MPP to an ASCII file, you can re-use much of this structure to build the arguments to the rodCreatePath() function. Then you could write a SKILL function around the call to the rodCreatePath function where you can pass in "n" the number of bus bits to create.  This master path could still be digitized (using an enterPath() function), see the CCSslotMetal.il example for details on the approach, solution 11252132 (it may not be visible for a short while, it has just been updated.)


    I'm sure that there are other solutions on this...

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
