emtpy space in cellview when fit zoom

psill000
psill000 over 11 years ago

What I have tried

procedure(updateBBox()
    foreach(lll getEditRep()~>lpps
        if(lll~>layerName=="changedLayer" then
            foreach(shape lll~>shapes dbDeleteObject(shape))
        )
    )
)

foreach( steiner geGetWindowCellView()~>steiners
   dbDeleteObject(steiner)
)

Drawing and other size shape then delete shape.

What other way can I use to minimize the cellview for the correct zoom fit

 Thanks

    I did think about writing something a bit more dedicated, but one approach would be to use the code example given in this post.

    For example, you could do:

    cv=geGetEditCellView()
    abTreeExample(cv~>shapes)

    you could also then use:

    abTreeExample(cv~>instances)
    abTreeExample(cv~>vias)
    abTreeExample(cv~>mosaics)
    abTreeExample(cv~>areaBoundaries)

    and so on - other interesting attributes to look at might be figGroups, blockages, rows, markers, guides, routes, steiners.

    The code allows you to sort the objects on the lower left x or y, or upper right x or y - so you can find the extent of each type of object. 

    If I had more time I'd write something which just showed the bBox for each layer (say) and the bBox for each other kind of object, to give you more of a starting clue without necessarily showing every single object. But I don't, so I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader - or maybe the code above is sufficient for your needs.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
