SKILL Q: Auto Create Row Objects

EdwardDodge
EdwardDodge over 8 years ago

Hi Guys,

Right now to create rows I choose VXL->Create->P & R Objects->Row...

From there I fill out the options:

1) Site Definition Name

2) Row Orientation

3) Options -> "Flip Every Other Row"

4) Create Method -> "Area Fill", "Partition", "prBoundary"

The SKILL documentation does not seem to provide a command that takes these options as arguments. Nor is there a SKILL command to auto-create row objects using these options to fill the prBoundary. Apparently this is not a one-step solution, but requires more knowledge of the row-creation API, perhaps an entire routine. Does anybody know if I missed a single-command solution or if there's a short routine that would do what I'm asking about?

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Edward

    Thanks, Quek!

    I was hoping there was a one-stop-shopping solution that would auto-generate rows in any shape prBoundary like the row command I mentioned. But I took your advice and wrote a wrapper script around dbCreateRow to fill rectangular boundaries. It works like a charm!
