skill code to generate pin list

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!

Hi Gang Liu,

You should not forget to tell in what mode you want the file to be opened/created.

Please have a look at this very simple piece of code:

procedure( printToFileTest( fileName printString "SS" )
   let( ( ( myPort nil ) )
       myPort = outfile( fileName "w" )
       fprintf( myPort "File name: %s\n" fileName )
       fprintf( myPort "Print string: %s\n" printString )
       close( myPort)
    ) ;;; end of let
) ;;; end of procedure printToFileTest

Load this code and do for instance:

printToFileTest("./test.tst" "hello world")

This should result in a file with two lines in it.

Please make sure you close the port at the end. This is a must.

With kind regards,

Sjoerd
