how to tell the pin from the rect

acom

Hi  all,

i would like to slelect the pins in virtuoso layout and did some operation about them. 

But i didn't know how to  identify whether i haven chose pins or other objects in layout.

i have tired to do like below,

if(pinn~>objType=="rect" then

operationA

else

operationB 

);identify whether i had choosen the pins.if so, run operation A;if not, run operation B.

 But i found that there is a bug.For a rect drawn by metal, its property is the same.

metalrect~>objType="rect".

do you have any idea for me to  fix the bug?

Thanks
