dbGetOverlaps error

San

Hi,

I am trying to get which label is associated with which instance in schematic view. I could not find any direct function or way to find if label is associated with particular instance or not. So I am trying to use dbGetOverlaps function to check what shapes(labels) overlaps my instance bBox.

If I do following then I am getting error of too few arguments 2 expected and 0 given.

foreach(box cv~>instances~>bBox

overlapShapeList=dbGetOverlaps(cv box list("wire" "label"))

)

But if I save bbox of an instance in a variable (say A) and use that individually in function then it works.

overlapShapeList=dbGetOverlaps(cv A list("wire" "label"))

Why don't function work in loop ?

Please guide.

Thanks
Sanket

  • Sanket,

    Your code must be different from that which you've posted, because that code works, and also can't possibly give that error. Check the spaces in your code - or post the actual code you're using and the actual error message that got reported (you only reported a bit of the error message - didn't even say which function had the problem).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
