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 Andrew,

    Could I use dbCreateXformPCell() inside the PCell definition (i.e. inside pcDefinePCell() )?

    Could you provide an example code to add a skill command to the Virtuoso menu bar (I would like to have dbCreateXformPCell()  always available from menu)?

    What about leSizeShape? Could it be used in a for() loop by selecting and then re-sizing all the shapes (both in pcDefinePCell and in Virtuoso layout editor menu)?

    Thank you

    Best regards,

    Aldo
