SKILL code to generate lower routes with same path properties of the selected path

What do you mean by "lower routes"? Your requirement is rather vague...

Andrew.

Hi let me give an example..... i have a metal route in M7 layer , i want to generate M6-M1 path with same properties of M9...i mean a metal stack...

Thanks 

foreach(newLayer'("M6" "M5" "M4" "M3" "M2" "M1")
  newPath=dbCopyFig(origPath origPath~>cellView list(0:0 "R0"))
  newPath~>layerName=newLayer
)

Something like that. This is assuming that the original path is in the variable origPath. The third arg to dbCopyFig is the transformation - and it leaves it in the same location.

Hi, can you let me know how can i copy a path then edit the layer and then place it at the same coordinates

Thanks & Regards 

I'm confused. Didn't I explain how to do precisely that in my append on Monday?

Hi Neeraj,

I have used the script mention by Andrew and modified it little bit. Just load the script in CIW and select the Metal layer you want to copy and hit Ctrl+t. I have used only 3 metal ie M0, M1 and M2.

procedure(metalStackUP()
let((newPath MBL)
x=css()
MBL=x~>layerName
if( MBL == "M0" then y="M1"
    else           
y="M2"))
       
newPath=dbCopyFig(x nil list(0:0 "R0"))
newPath~>layerName=y
)

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<key>T" "metalStackUP()")

You shouldn't really use css() in your code; this is a private SKILL function which was added as an internal debugging aid by one R&D group; there's always the chance it may get removed at some point.

I tend to use it only when quickly typing stuff in the CIW - for code use car(geGetSelSet()) instead to ensure that your code is future proof.

Thanks Andrew,
