Opening Pcell while hierarchically browsing a Master Layout

Abhishek Iyer

Hi,

I have a master layout and with various levels of heirarchy. My aim is to find and draw boxes around shapes belonging to a particular layer.

The problem comes in when I come across an instance which is a pcell while I am traversing through the hierarchy.

If I try to openthe instance using dbOpenCellViewByType(), it obviously opens with the default parameters and the purpose is lost.

I intend to do some processing on pcell layout with the instantiated parameters "without flatenning" the layout.

Regards,

Abhishek
