Find the metal polygons having a pin

shazzy

I have some metal polygons in an instance and that is called in some other other celllview on which the pins are placed.

 

I want to find only those the metal polygons which have pin label over them. 

 

I have written a code wherein the polygon is broken into rects and then pins are searched in  the rects so created, but that process involves a lot of loops thus being tedious and memory hungry. Also, checking net or pin properties of the metal ain't working.

 

Could you please share any new code ideas wherein the desired metal polygons can be found

     Are these really pins or are there just labels? If there are pins you can look for shapes which are pins easily enough.

    The reason I suggested starting from the labels is that my assumption is that you have far fewer labels than shapes - so it's a matter of data minimization.

    This is the kind of question it is hard to answer in a general way with no visibility of what your data looks like, what your code does so far, and what the end goal is - so maybe customer support would be a better avenue for assistance.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
