How to get coordinates of layers

PDCHino
Greetings!

I want to get coordinates of layers of the selected object.

What what SKILL commands or program will I use?

For example:

I have a resistor in a layout, I select it then execute a SKILL commands or program.

The result will be the x and y coordinates of the layers of the resistor I selected.

    I am assuming you the layout is flat data or shapes, not instances or pcells

    This might get you some info to start.

    load the script 

    Select your shapes then excute the script.

     procedure(printPts()
    let(    (type
        (cnt 0)
        (objList geGetSelSet()))

    foreach(obj objList
        ++cnt
        type = obj~>objType
        case(type
            ("inst"
                printf("%s %L at %L\n" type obj~>xy))
            ("rect"
                printf("%s on layer %L at %L\n" type obj~>lpp obj~>bBox))
            ("polygon"
                printf("%s on layer %L at %L\n" type obj~>lpp obj~>points))
            ("path"
                printf("%s on layer %L at %L\n" type obj~>lpp obj~>points))
            ("pathSeg"
                printf("%s on layer %L at %L\n" type obj~>lpp list(obj~>beginPt obj~>endPt)))
            ("label"
                printf("%s on layer %L at %L\n" type obj~>lpp obj~>xy))
            (t    printf("%s not defined\n" type))
        )
    )
    printf("%n objects selected\n" cnt)
    ); end of let
    ); end of printPts

    You can find more about the objects from selecting an object/s then executing in the ciw the command geGetSelSet()~>? this will output the variables to the object or geGetSelSet()~>?? will output the variables and values.
