Thanks

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for your suggestion. I am using virtuoso 6.1.6

    Here is what I want to do (pardon me if its a no brainier)

    Lets say I have three different instance A1, A2 and A3 in my cellview. They are placed horizontally as A1-A2-A3, some shapes present in A2 overlaps with A1 and some shapes overlaps with A3 in such a way that A1 - A3 gets connected (Ex: An M1 shape(a1_m1) of A1 overlaps with a M1 shape(a2_m1) in A2. This M1 shape(a2_m1) is connected to a M2 shape(a2_m2) in A2 throuh via1(a2-via1), finally the M2 shape(a2_m2) overlaps with a M2 shape(a3_m2) in A3. We have a connection from A1 to A3  as (M1-via1-M2), in terms of shape it is a1-m1 -> a2-m1 -> a2-via1->a2_m2->a3-m2). 

    I want to determine the connectivity of A1-A3 in terms of  shapes i.e a1-m1 -> a2-m1 -> a2-via1->a2_m2->a3-m2, without flattening A1,A2 or A3.

    Thanks,
