Path Off-grids

Patrick1982
Patrick1982 over 14 years ago

Hi Everyone,

When using Assura with one of IBM's DRC rule files, I get off-grids whenever I have a 45-degree angle and the only way to fix this is to chop out the 45-degree path and place an on-grid 45-degree polygon in it's place.

I am in the process of trying to write up some skill code to easily fix this, which will basically consist of searching for all 45-degree paths, chopping the 45-degree path and replacing it with a polygon of the same layer. Does anyone have some skill code that is similar to what I am trying to do?  I'm sure someone has come up with something already, and it would be a great starting base for me.

Thanks very much,

Patrick

    Turbo Toolbox has a capability to create "Polygon Paths" which would solve this problem, I guess. See <ICinstDir>/doc/toolboxhelp/toolboxhelp.pdf
