Finding the connectivity pattern between different instances in a cell view

Hi,

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 through via1(a2-via1),

finally the M2 shape(a2_m2) overlaps with a M2 shape(a3_m2) in A3.

Here 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.

PS: I think "marknet" internally uses a similar mechanism to display connectivity.

Thanks,

Shahbaz Sarik

    Shahbaz,

    Please do not double post your questions. They won't get answered any more quickly - in fact it's likely to result in confusion and you're more likely to get ignored.

    This is the same as http://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/48/p/35116/1345203#1345203

    I would join the posts but a current problem with the system means that it tends to delete the post instead!

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Sorry Andrew,

    I won't repeat it.
