OA database getting corrupted in converting terminal to label using SKILL in layout

Chikoo
Hi, I am trying to convert a terminal (pin) in layout to pin label.Am using the following lines of code. cv = dbOpenCellViewByType(libName cellName "layout" "" "a") foreach(trm cv~>terminals dbCreateLabel(cv car(trm~>textDisplays~>lpp) car(trm~>textDisplays~>xy) trm~>name car(trm~>textDisplays~>justify) car(trm~>textDisplays~>orient) car(trm~>textDisplays~>font) car(trm~>textDisplays~>height)) dbDeleteObject(trm) ) dbSave(cv) dbClose(cv) But the layout OA database gets corrupted once i execute this code. Can someone help me in resolving this. Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Chikoo,

    Your post formatting is a little hard to read.  The terminal is a logical object, not a physical object, so I imagine that you actually want to find the pin figures associated with the terminal, something like the following:

    
  trm~>pins~>fig

    In a layout a "pin" is either a shape or an instance with a 'pin' attribute.  If you access this from the terminals (logical) database object you need to see the pins (also logical) for the terminal and then the figs (physical) for the pin (CDB and OA organise these a little differently but the path is essentially the same). So you don't want to delete the terminal (typically), but if you do you would need to remove the pins and shape/instance attributes too; my guess is that you want to modify/remove the physical shapes.

    Hopefully this will help you in the right direction?

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
