How to use dbLaterOr/dbLayerAnd/dbLayer... function hierarchically

bonnieatcds

I have a SKILL program to delete duplicated labels, make sure there only one label for one hierarchically connected net.

Currently I am using DIVA geomGetPurpose("M1" "drawing" 0 30) to get a annotate layer and then delete the extra labels.

Since there is a huge amount of labels, my SKILL program is running more than 4 hours.

I read solution 11237840 ( Lawrence suggested). It is a GUI base and it seems copy all layers... Is there any other way to solve me problem make the program faster?

Thanks!

  • Bonnie,

    This is a forum that is 'manned' by volunteers in their spare time.  If you need an answer perhaps sooner than the forum can provide then you should consider creating a service request with Cadence Customer Support.

    Having said this I just noticed some new functions recently (in ICADV12.2 and IC617) that start with the "abe" prefix, Advanced Boolean Engine - these still operate on flat data but they may be more efficient than the "le" or "db" equivalent.  Take a look at the documentation to find out more. e.g. "About the Advanced Boolean Engine" - you need to run the operations slightly differently but it is worth a try.

    Good luck,

    Lawrence.
