Need function to find the parameter names on objects in layout: ASAP

boomme

I am needing to manipulate the property parameters on various objects...

for example... I wish make a bind key toggle to change the MPT coloring on a Layer 2 metal layer on a Via cell

the via proper gui list lists it under a MPT coloring heading - Layer1 

but I need the actual name for that field so I can reassign the value to mask1Color or mask2Color

as in the value similar to the "cutHeight" value assignment here ... via~>cutHeight = Xhigh

I know there has to be a SKILL command for this retrieving the variable names for parameter fields for objects, but I can't seem to locate it in the various cadence documentations.

After searching this site, I tried the axlDBGetProperties command, but that does not seem to work for this purpose... in fact I  get an undefined function when attempting to use this command.

FYI, I am using cadence version ICADV 12.2-64b.78.EHF2165

.. I need a response as soon as possible if you have an answer to this. Thanks much for any help.

  • Not to go into details due to my confidentiality agreement ...but, really... that is not possible. All I need is the skill function name for retrieving the parameter names... not fully written program. My question was not directed to you specifically, but to the entire board in hopes I could get a little help, which was what i thought this forum was for. . If you're to busy to look into it, I understand, perhaps someone else can chime in if they know the answer. Otherwise I'll just keep on trying myself.
