Find the area which not overlapped by some layer.

Hello there,


I want to highlight the area which is not overlapped by some layer. For ex:- Highlight the area in a stdcell which is not covered by diffusion.

Any help in this regard within couple of days will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance..

Sharif

    In addition, you can open the cell in read only mode and create the shapes.

    Since you are looking at nested data, you will have to find the shapes nested in the hierarchy. Use dbGetTrueOverlaps to find the shapes and then transform the points to the top level using dbConcatTransform. You can keep the points in memory or create new shapes in the read only cellView. When the cellView is closed, the shapes are not saved.
