How to reuse ROD Objects in a cellview?

tribotree

Hello,

I'm new in ROD object design. I want to reuse the ROD objects from an old cellview (let me call it "oldcv") and move some of them by script.

But when I create an instance of oldcv and flatten the instance, the ROD properties of the objects were gone.

I use database ID of the rod object and "dbMoveShape" to move it.

(Actually in oldcv there is no ROD object, I change some of them to ROD objects in GUI so that I can access them by the name.)

Am I wong to do this? Then what should I do?

Another question is, can I set the alignment of ROD objects in GUI?

  • The flatten command in the layout editor (and the SKILL function) have an option to preserve ROD objects when you do the flatten (it's on the F3 options form for the flatten command, and is an optional argument to the SKILL function).

    If there are no ROD objects in the old cellView, I don't really understand how you can expect to reuse the ROD objects?

    There is no GUI support for doing rodAlign; you have to use SKILL code for that.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
