Net Tracing - Skill

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Hello All ,

I have a script which I use to calculate a particular net's  Net Length, total net resistance, Capacitance (w.r.t ground).
But the drawback is that I have to select the entire Net before invoking the "NetLength" Function.

So I want a script which can trace the entire net and give a list of metals, vias, instances that
belong to this net. i.e I will select any one metal/instance/via  of a net and the code should trace the entire net and give me the desired o/p.

NOTE: Instances here refer to instances/mosaics of vias.

Thanks,
Sathya

    Jay,

    leMarkNet and leSaveMarkNet are both in IC616. Rather than going to an awful lot of effort writing your own shape tracer, it would be far simpler to switch to using IC616 rather than IC615 (which should be a straightforward move). IC615 is not supported any more anyway.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
