Finding layers and there shapes information present in a instance without flattening it

ssarik

Hi,

I want to find all the layers, there shapes and bBox information present in a instance without flattening it. Is there any way I cam do it in SKILL?

Thanks

  • Hi Shahbaz,

    Your original question wasn't exactly giving much away as to what your end goal was! Even this is not clear what you're trying to find at the end - other than my assumption which is that you want to find the shapes that make those connections.

    Why not use mark net rather than reinventing your own shape chaser (which I'm not going to be able to help you out with - others may have written something they are able to share, but I don't have anything general purpose enough that I could share it)?

    You can use leMarkNet() to trace the nets and then leSaveMarkNet() to save the resulting shapes into another cellView (you could open a temporary cellView for this purpose). The shapes in the saved cellView would be the flat shapes that make up those nets without any of the other unrelated shapes through the hierarchy.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
