How to extract Pcell proprieties from a CV

Hi all,

I need a small help, I want to extract of already existing pcell in the CV and them save it to the table. F.i. I need Width, number of gates and etc... 

The question is how to find the data, where should I look?

Kind regards,

Vadim

    In that case you'd need to visit all the instances rather than the instHeaders. You would need to look at each instance's master and then check to see if it has a superMaster (then you know it's a PCell), and the get the parameters from that (you'd need to look at the code above for inspiration as to how to figure out all the parameter values and output them). 

    Unfortunately I can't write the code for you (I've given you quite a few examples already).

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
