VI Editor Script

xv12
I am using the function dbWriteSkill to dump the layout to a file and want to modify to just stretch the length and everything contact metal implant will also stretch.
I want to use the vi editor to modify.  Does anyone have a quick way to do it. For me I have to delete one by one and it take a longtime  
Below is the partial dump file
dbD_0xcd1f768 = dbCreatePolygon(dbD_0xcc0c42c list(16 252)
 list(2.650000e+01:2.930000e+01 2.240000e+01:2.930000e+01 2.240000e+01:7.000000e+00
      7.000000e+00:7.000000e+00 7.000000e+00:2.520000e+01 2.240000e+01:2.520000e+01
      2.240000e+01:2.930000e+01 2.900000e+00:2.930000e+01 2.900000e+00:2.900000e+00
      2.650000e+01:2.900000e+00 ) )
And this is what I want to change.
 (pcLayer = 16)
 (pcPurpose = "drawing")
 (pcInst = dbCreatePolygon(pcCellView
  list(pcLayer pcPurpose)
  list((26.5:(29.3 + l_float0offset))
      (22.4:(29.3 + l_float0offset))
      (22.4:7.0)
      (7.0:7.0)
      (7.0:(25.2 + l_float0offset))
      (22.4:(25.2 + l_float0offset))
      (22.4:(29.3 + l_float0offset))
      (2.9:(29.3 + l_float0offset))
      (2.9:2.9)
      (26.5:2.9)
  )

  •  Hi Tien,

    Neither Derek nor I mentioned PCells, so I'm not sure where you got this from.  It is possible to write SKILL that can act directly on a layout or schematic cellview (or multiple cellviews, one at a time) so that the cellview can be queried and even modified in a procedural fashion.  Are the "doughnut" shapes of objType "donut", or are they polygons constructed as closed shapes?  If you have additional shapes to be placed as another shape is stretched, have you considered using a multi-part path (MPP) ROD object as can be created using the menu Create -> Multipart Path ?  Then the contact shapes can be added as the master path shape is stretched...

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
