getting the dbID for an instance in the layout

Inas Mohammed

Hello,

I need to get the dbID for certain transistor in order to do some operations on it after that.

The idea is that i need to check for a transistor in a pattern, if this transistor is at lower left of upper right do some commands.

so i need to get value of x which then will be used as follows.

when(row=0 && col==0  lowerleft=x)

when(row=Rows-1 && col=Cols-1 upperright=x)

I thought about like trying to create instances again on the old one with the same names in these places using dbCreateInst just to have the ID, then use it.

But it doesn't work

So can you help me with this issue please.

thanks

  • Ok i can explain it in another way and you can reply in your free time if you don't mind. Or if other people can share their ideas with us please.
    Simply you have an already generated pattern via skill script, the script doesn't have the dbCreateInst function used inside. In such a case i need to get the ID of a certain instance in this pattern.
    What function(s) that can track the instances ID and give them back as returns.
    For example:
    I'm in a certain row in the pattern, and i'm filling the columns of this row i need to keep track of the instances ID according to its position in which row and column.
    This is a general idea i need to know about.

    Thanks for your patience
