Skill code for turn rectangle metal to mesh in the virtuoso layout editor

ZhouDL
Hi,

I want write a skill script for turning rectangle metal to mesh or slot on the rectangle metal automatically in the virtuoso layout editor when I press a bindkey.

but I am not very familiar with cadence skill .Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks,

PS: I want to post some sort of screenshot from my computer for what I really want to do,but I do not know how to do.Anyone can teach me to do this？

  • Try this code. It will create a polygon instead of strips of metal.

    procedure(meshSelected(@key (meshWidth 1.0) (cv geGetEditCellView()))
      let((shape box innerBox rects mesh)
        shape = car(selectedSet())
        box = shape~>bBox
        innerBox = list(xCoord(lowerLeft(box))+meshWidth:yCoord(lowerLeft(box))+meshWidth
                        xCoord(upperRight(box))-meshWidth:yCoord(upperRight(box))-meshWidth)
        rects = rodFillBBoxWithRects(
            ?cvId geGetEditCellView()
            ?layer "y0"
            ?fillBBox innerBox
            ?width meshWidth
            ?length meshWidth
            ?spaceX meshWidth
            ?spaceY meshWidth
            ?gap 'minimum ;optionally 'distribute
        )

        mesh = dbLayerAndNot(cv shape~>lpp list(shape) rects 1000) ;last # is max # of vertices
        dbDeleteObject(shape)
        mapcar('dbDeleteObject rects)
        mesh
      ) ;let
    ) ;proc

    Select your piece of metal and run this command, filling in the appropriate number for the width of your holes. I coded a default of 1.0. Also, the program above keeps the holes at a minimum space (meshWidth). If your rectangle is not a perfect multiple of the meshWidth, you'll end up with wide strips at the top and right. You can change the ?gap argument to be 'distribute and the mesh will be more even.

    meshSelected(?meshWidth 2.0)
