create pins on power rails from labels

Hello,

I have layouts of IO cells which only include labels on all power rails. Now I would like to create pins from the labels, but the pins should be stretched to the heigth of the underlying power rail.

It is "easy" to put a normal pin on the label, but what about the stretching of the pin? Does anyone have a snippet of code for this or a suggestion of Skill functions to work with? I think that it is dangerous just to get the lower and upper coordinates of the underlying metal shapes because the metal shapes could be separated or something like this.

 Thank you very much for some ideas,

Ronny

    Hi all,

    does anyone know if there exist a Skill function which measures the distance from a given point to the right, left, bottom or top border of the underlying shape?

    Thank you veru much,

    Ronny
