Skew edges created in IC6.1.5

Hi,

I have a question about path creation. When I create a path (in IC5.1) with "round" endType the path generates all edges at 45 degree angles. However, when I do the same thing in IC6.1.5 the edges get generated at angles other than 45 degrees. (This is the case only for some path widths such as 0.3 0.6 and 1.2 to name a few). I have also created the same path using rodCreatePath with "octagon" endType and the result is the same. In IC6.1 the rounded edges create skew lines and in IC5.1 the function works correctly. Any suggestions that you may have regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for the reply. The code I used to create the path is

    rodCreatePath(

    ?layer "M1"

    ?width 0.3

    ?pts list(0:0 5:5)

    ?endType "octagon"

    ?cvId geGetEditCellView()

    )

     This is the same code I use in both versions of Virtuoso but in IC6.1 it makes skew edges at either end of the path.

    My DBUperUU is set to 1000.0, which is the same in both versions.

     

    Thank you,

    Eugene
