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

  •  Hi Armen,

    I have done similar thing but for a different purpose so I am sure you can also use this method.

    You can by skill draw 2 new paths whose centerline is exaclty on the side edges of the original path.

    How?

    using leCreatePath use the pointlist from the original path and give an offset value of + and - halfwidth of the original path.

    you can then return the pointlist of the newly created paths before deleting them. You can then return  the pointlist as 2 separate sets or combine them as if it is describing a closed polygon.

    I hope it helps.

    best regards
