Skill code to assign Connectivity to Metals

Paramjeet
Paramjeet over 13 years ago

 

 Hi,

 

I am looking for a skill code with the help of which I can assign connectivity to all the metal and via layers connected to a AP layer. The AP layer has the connectivity information. I am looking for a generic code which asks for input metal layer having the connectivity information. Then it propogates or assigns same net connectivity  to all the other metal and via layers connected with the Net. This will help in getting all metal and via layers and not only AP layer during def out.

 

Please help me with the code.

 

Thanks & Regards

Paramjeet Singh

    I don't really understand why you can't use the Virtuoso extractor. Writing a shape tracer is possible, but a fair bit of work - and it seems a shame not to use the existing built-in one.

    I'd suggest you contact customer support (although we're unlikely to provide shape tracer SKILL for you - but maybe we can work to find out why the virtuoso extractor doesn't work for you).

    Andrew.
