hi all,

i need to fill the rectangles(contacts) in bbox of layer which i selected in my layout. i find a syntax for this function but its not working. The code is

 cv = geGetWindowCellView()
x= geGetSelectedSet()
rodFillBBoxWithRects(      
     ?cvId cv
     ?layer list("CONT" "drawing")
     ?fillBBox x~>points
     ?width .16
     ?length 0.16
     ?gap "distribute"
     ?spaceX .22
     ?spaceY .22
        )

then CIW shows

  *WARNING* rodFillBBoxWithRects: ?fillBBox: list must have at least 2 elements - (((20.9 10.8) (17.4 10.8) (17.4 5.0) (12.7 5.0) (12.7 8.6) (17.4 8.6) (17.4 10.8) (10.3 10.8) (10.3 6.6) (8.4 6.6) (8.4 3.4) (3.4 3.4) (3.4 10.1) (8.4 10.1) (8.4 8.2) (10.3 8.2) (10.3 10.8) (2.4 10.8) (2.4 2.7) (20.9 2.7)))
*WARNING* rodFillBBoxWithRects: command failed
 

 please give me your advise and codes are most welcome.

     hi,

    yes i got the tiles. but i can't fill the contacts in every rectangle.   i can do it for single rectangle. what's the problem.

     leSetEntryLayer( list("y4" "drawing"))
    leSetAllLayerVisible(nil)
    geSelectAllFig()
    a= geGetSelectedSet()
    dbLayerTile(cv "y4" a  )
    foreach(a
    rodFillBBoxWithRects(      
         ?cvId cv
         ?layer list("CONT" "drawing")
         ?fillBBox car(a)~>bBox
         ?width .16
         ?length 0.16
         ?gap "distribute"
         ?spaceX .22
         ?spaceY .22
            ))
