Stream out specific area of layout

blankman

Hi,

I'm wondering is it possible to stream out just a specific area of a layout using skill (ie giving input coordinates)? I am working with a considerably large layout, and stream out time is taking a considerable length of time.

Thanks,

Brian.

    Hi Brian,

    Not really. You could however use the yank and paste commands (or corresponding SKILL "le" functions) to yank an area of the layout into a new layout cellView and then stream out that instead. That will cut through an instances which straddle the boundary being yanked, but preserve hierarchy for anything completely within the yank area.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
