Not able to copy MPP guardRing using dbCopyFig

San
San over 8 years ago

Hi,

 I have single pcell instance , some pins, and a MPP guardRing around that instance in my layout view.
I just want top make a copy of all these an place it little farther.

I tried using following code. But it did not copy guardRing

layId = geGetEditCellView()

geSelectAll()

foreach(fig selectedSet()

dbCopyFig(fig layId list(10:0 "R0" 1))

)

Please help on this. I am not sure why it did not copy guardRing. Is it because it is ROD object ?

Thanks

Sanket

    I searched (using the search icon in the top right hand corner of the Cadence main site - at the top of this page) for "dbCopyFig MPP" and found this (with my previous answer on this topic):

    RVERP
    Use dbMoveFig to move a MPP between different cellviews
    If a use dbMoveFig to move a MPP inside the same cellview, it works fine. If I use it to move the MPP to a different cellview however, only the main path is moved, and it is converted to a regular path…
