Guard ring skill code problem

Yousry

HI,

I made a skill code that draw the guard ring successfully using the enterPath() function and the rodCreatePath() function,

but when I press escape to end the code after drawing a number of guardrings,

it prints the following warnings then the code end:

 *WARNING* Illegal number of points, must be between 2 and 4000

 *WARNING* rodCreatePath: unable to create path named "path28"

 *WARNING* rodCreatePath: unable to create path named "path28"

*WARNING* rodCreatePath: command failed

And I don't know how to getrid of these warnings,

Takind into consideration that I use the following functions:

enterPath(
                ?wantPoints 1000
                ?prompts
                       list( "Enter the first point."
                       "Enter the next point." )
                       ?doneProc "pathDone_ring"
                        ;?form eval(pForm)
                        ?pathWidth   w          
                       ?pathStyle "Truncate"
                   ;?acceptString t
                   ;?acceptNumber t
                   ;?noInfix t
                 );enterPath

npath = rodCreatePath(
                                    
                                                ?cvId cv
                                            ?layer "OD"
                                            ?width w           

                                            ?pts pts
                                            ?choppable nil
                                            ?beginExt 0
                                            ?endExt 0
                                            ?encSubPath list(
                                            list(
                                                ?layer "METAL1"
                                                    ?beginOffset 0.0
                                                   ?endOffset 0.0
                                                    ?enclosure -0.01
                                                    ?choppable t
                                             )
                                        
                                             list(
                                                    ?layer "NIMP"
                                                 ?enclosure -0.03
                                                 ?beginOffset 0.0
                                                   ?endOffset 0.0
                                                   ?choppable nil
                                             )
                                        
                                         list(
                                                    ?layer "NWELL"
                                                 ?enclosure -0.24
                                                 ?beginOffset 0.0
                                                   ?endOffset 0.0
                                                   ?choppable nil
                                             ));encSubPath

                                                ?subRect subRectList

                                     );rodCreatePath

 Thanks in advance

  • Hi,

    I do not know what is exactly causing the issue, but as far as I
    know the doneProc function of the enterPath should contain the final
    path drawing routine.

    Maybe my tiny example helps.

    Bernd

    procedure( BFdrawPath( window done pointList )
    let( (
    ( layer list( "METAL1" "drawing" ) )
    ( width 1.0 )
    )

    when( done
    ; create path
    if( width > 0 then
    rodCreatePath(
    ?cvId geGetEditCellView( window )
    ?layer layer
    ?width width
    ?pts pointList
    ) ; end rodCreatePath
    else
    printf( "\n\n *** WARNING *** Width for Layer %L is 0 \n" layer )
    ) ; end if
    ) ; end when

    ) ; end let

    ) ; end BFdrawPath

    procedure( BFpromptForPath( )

    enterPath(
    ?prompts
    list( "Point at the first point of the path:"
    "Point at the next point of the path:"
    )
    ?doneProc "BFdrawPath"
    ?pathStyle "Truncate"
    )
    ) ; end BFpromptForPath
