text_add_ring_layout_skill

TFTIC
Hi all,

I have created (by skill) a ring (many paths of metals and contacts inside this ring) and I would like to
add in a specific location inside the ring two text labels-by skill. How could I do this? I would like to notice that my ring has not any bBox and that I should not use any.

I would appreciate your valuable help.

    You will need "dbCreateLabel" and probaly "leAttachFig".

    I'm pretty sure your ring has a bBox, almost every layout object I can think about has a bBox.

    Hi berndfi, and thank you for your reply and the answer. I use the function that you suggested but I am not sure that I use it properly. I would like a further advise. The problem is that I do not have the opportunity to add a bBox, since it is a ring that I use and I am not allowed to use a bBox. I will send u my script in order (and if you have time) to let me know your thoughts. Kind Regards Giannis

    Just select your ring in the layout and do type  geGetSelSet()~>bBox in the CIW, then you will get your bBox of the ring returned.
  • TFTIC
    You are right. Indeed, there is a bBox. Thank you very much! The remaining issue that I have is to add the word
  • berndfi
    The function "mpeLabelInst" you provided me via pm works for me.
  • TFTIC
    It works also for me, but I can not understand how could I pass a specific word in my layout that would be for instance the word "Hello".

    Your question makes no sense - there's simply not enough detail. Maybe it makes sense with visibility of the code that you sent to Bernd - but this is a community forum - people can't help you if you don't give us enough to go on!

    Kindest Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thank you both (Andrew, I should do this from the begining). Please find the code if this could be helpful. My target: Add the word Hello in a specific place in layout (this word should be written in metal1). The reference considering the location of this word should be the metal6 path or the bBox.

    The formatting of your code has got completely messed up (this might be because you're using Chrome as a browser? The forums don't work so well with Chrome). Anyway, please re-post the code, or add it as an attachment via the Options tab on the forum (you might need to upload it as a file with the .txt suffix, I'm not sure).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
