skill code to generate pin list

SteveRFIC

Hi,

I have a cadence layout with lots of pins at different locations. I want to generate a list of the pins, ideally with the following information

pinname, location (X,Y coordinates), pin layer.

The pins are all in rectangular shapes, so ideally I want the locations of the center of those rectangulars.

Is this doable by using existing Layout or Layout XL commands, or by using skill?

I found some information to print a list of the labels from the following post, but could not get the file generated. nothing happens when I load the skill code :(

Sorry that I am a circuit designer and not very familiar with SKILL, any help is highly appreciated.

Thank you!

  • Thank You Ramakrishnan!

    This works and it is exactly what I want.

    I wanted to print this into a file by adding the following two lines at the proper locations. I could only see an empty file generated. But if I use printf, then I can see the pinlist printed in CIW. It seems that fprintf is not working for me. Really don't know why. Any suggestion? Thanks!

    myPort=outfile("./pinlist")

    fprintf(myPort "\n%s\t%L\t%L" pin~>net~>name centerBox(pin~>fig~>bBox) pin~>fig~>lpp)
