need to get side points of path object

armen

Hi All,

 

Can you please help to get path object's side points via SKILL, without using dbConvertPathToPolygon()?

As far as I know, dbConvertPathToPolygon() is desctructive and this task should be done without damaging the layout design.

Creating copy of design is also not preferred as there are many cells to be scanned and performance will highly slow down.

 

Thanks,

Armen

    Armen,

    One way to do this would be to use rodId=rodNameShape(?shapeId pathId). Then you can use the various handles on the ROD object to find the coordinates of the left or right sides, say.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
