A way to capture total area of a layout cellView

leHiAreaDensity gives me the information I need in "TotalArea" - but it requires manual interaction.

leComputeAreaDensity would be perfect if it reported TotalArea, but it only analyzes the specified layer. 

If anyone has something to share, please post.

Thanks

    Hi Ananth,
    Can you list your specification in a bit more detail. If you need the area of the cell view you can simply use the geGetEditCellView()~>bBox and then compute the area.
    if you want the area of a combination of layers you can try using Diva rule to compute the area ( I need to dig into how its done.).

    Thanks,
    Naveen
