find warnings / marks on the layout view using SKILL

Dear all,

I have numbers of PCell on my layout view, and some of them have markers with warnings, is there a SKILL way to detect such markers?

cv~>markers gives nil

Ideally, I want to find to which cell a marker belongs. 

Best regards,

Vadim

    Hi Vadim,

    Assuming that you have the variable 'inst' set you can see the failure marker using something like the following:

    exists(shape inst~>master~>shapes shape~>theLabel == "pcellEvalFailed")
    

    Take a look at Solution Article 20447859 for more details, examples...

    Hope this helps you.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.

    It depends what kind of "markers" they are. It could be inst~>master~>markers - or it could be the kind of label (or shape) on the marker/warning or marker/error layer (this is the old way markers used to be done) - and these labels (or shapes) that Lawrence mentioned may have a property on them with more detail (such as a property called errorDesc).

    Andrew.

    oh, I rushed a bit, Andrew's way is one I was looking for, perhaps I have the old style PCells.

    I found PCell's warning/error messages in the bottom of the list inst~>master~>shapes.

    thank you all for help,

    Vadim
