how to generate ASSURA DRC error report that shows which instance has error?

Hi,

 I would like to generate a ASSURA DRC error report  using SKILL. i've managed to do it by reading the *.err file. But I hope to refine my report by specified which instance in my layout that has DRC error. Can anyone give me some guide? Thanks.

 

Example: in my layout i have instance A, B, and C. If only instance C has DRC error, how can i make my report to show that instance A and B are clean but C is dirty?

 

Thanks,

SL

    Hi SL

    Unfortunately, as of the latest version Assura41USR1_HF8, it is not possible to output the instance name together with the errors. The name of the cell containing the error is listed the err file and since all instances of the cell would have the same error, perhaps you can simply search the layout for all instances of the cell. This can be a workaround. E.g. for a simple top level search, we can have:

    instList=list()
    cv=geGetWindowCellView()
    foreach( inst cv~>instances
       if( inst~>cellName=="myErrorCell" then
          instList=cons(inst~>name instList)
       ) ;if
    ) ;foreach
    printf("Instances %L has drc error xyz\n" instList)

    Best regards
