Shape - line intersections?

augustot

Hello everybody,

    I am a newbee here, and I would like to learn which is the best way to find the intersections (if any) between a shape in my layout (e.g. a rectangle) and an ideal line using SKILL (6). I need then to reiterate the procedure through all the objects in my layout.

It would be even better if the "ideal line" would be a selected ruler segment.

Do you have any hint?

Thanks a lot in advance!

    I don't think I entirely understand what you mean. I have some code to find any shape which a line is crossing - I have solution 11024326 which provides this code (this is a standard feature in IC615, but the way it is implemented may still be useful). Maybe that's what you want? I don't know what you mean by "find the intersections" - what does the intersection of a shape with a line actually mean? Do you want to find the points on the edges where the intersection occurs? Whether the shape is intersected or not? Chop the polygons into pieces based on the intersection? 

    Explaining your purpose would help clarify that.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
