Accessing certain layer and get its ll and ur coordinates

Inas Mohammed

Hello,

I have a pattern of transistor has DRC errors for some spacings between successive rows. These errors will be solved if i add rectangles for these layer. so instead of adding the same layer several times in the middle, i thought to add it only once with dimension of this layer in the whole pattern, like the NW layer specially they all share the same NW.

So what i thought about is:

1) Grouping the instances.

2) Accessing the needed layer.

3) Get its ll and ur coordinates.

4)Create rect with this layer and list of gotten points.

5)ungroup them again.

So i need a skill script does this sort of function.

Thanks

Regards,

    I read old threads about this topic specially how to access a layer without flattening and i found:

    lpId = car(setof(lp geGetEditCellView()~>lpps lp~>layerName == "metal1" && lp~>purpose == "drawing"))
    lpId~>shapes~>bBox

    But after getting the layer ID and search for its bBox it gives me nil.

    So please i need your help for a skill script perform the tasks in the first thread without flattening which are:
    1) Grouping the instances.

    2) Accessing the needed layer.

    3) Get its ll and ur coordinates.

    4)Create rect with this layer and list of gotten points.

    5)ungroup them again.

    Thanks in advance
