Snapshot functionality in Cadence Skill

Shubhy
Shubhy over 9 years ago

I'm building a skill code which works like a snapshot. 

There would be some objects(metals, poly, od etc. ) kept on the top level of the cell.

And the user would give a list of bBoxes.

For each bBox acting as a frame of the camera , whatever objects are kept inside that specific area should be copied in a new cell.  

By the word specific I mean if a metal elongates outside a bBox then only that part should be copied which is inside the bBox.

    Thanks Andrew, 

    I was able to figure it out of Yank & paste commands. But there's another issue occurring now.

    If a leafcell / via instance also gets inscribed in the given point array then even that is yanked and pasted. Is there any other way by which we could avoid the instances and only concentrate on the physical layers on top ( like the metals / polys etc. )

    Regards
