Cadence format can give me the geometric information

Mamad

Hi,
I have a Pcell and I need the geometric information of the tiles shown in the next figure. I have the location of the terminals(S,D and G) but not the mentioned tiles.
Is there any format in Cadence could give me such information?

    I'm not sure what information you need but those shapes are rectangles in the pcell master and the shapes contain all the geometric information you need. What you have to do is find the shapes. If you have the pcell instance, you can get all the shapes in the master:

    instId => this variable contains the ID of the instance

    instId~>master~>shapes

    There may be other identifying data on the shapes such as rodId, layer or net which you can then filter the shapes to find the ones you want.You have to create the filter.

    You can look at the data itself by using the ?? accessor.

    shapeId~>??
