Layout/PCell size scaling

Aldo2

Hello,

Is there a command from Virtuoso menu to scale a layout of a custom size factor?

Is there a skill command that I could introduce in a PCell definition (inside pcDefinePCell) to scale the cell itself of a size factor given in CDF?

Thank you

Best regards,

Aldo

  • Hi Aldo,

    There's a UNIX command called "XScale" which can be used to scale databases. Note however that this won't be useful for pcells, because it simply scales the coordinates in the database files, and anything generated from a pcell will be re-generated when you open the database.

    You can call dbCreateXformPCell() which will create you a pcell for a particular cellView, which allows you to provide a scale factor on the instance (this is intended to be effectively a replacement in OpenAccess-enabled versions for the old CDB "mag" parameter, which doesn't exist in OA).

    Maybe one of those will help you?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
