How to get DIVA to save labels in extracted view

rfontaine

I'm using Diva instead of Skill to flatten and merge large designs. This is a great tool for making plots (it declutters all the shape edges), and it runs in seconds vs. hours when flattening/merging with skill.. The trouble I'm having is Diva does not treat a label the same as a shape. The code below is my Diva .rul file that does a foreach through a list of layers I provide. All works well, except it doesn't copy any shape that has an objType~>label into my extract view. I can brut force a copy using Skill, but this slows things down, is there a way for Diva to copy it over?

drcExtractRules(
cvId = ivGetCellView()    

  ivIf(switch("extract?") then
 
;below loop will go through each layer user selects and copies/merges it in the cvPlot cellview
;also I had to check that a shape existed on each layer or diva would error out

foreach(lpps layerSelect
 
     layer=car(lpps)
     purpose=cadr(lpps)
     printf("Layer Being Copied is %L Purpose is %L\n" layer purpose)
     ;printf("Started collecting selected shapes \n")
     shapeLayer = geomGetPurpose(layer purpose)        ;need to collect all shapes on layer and purpose selected
     ;printf("Finishes collecting selected shapes \n")          
     saveInterconnect((shapeLayer (layer purpose)))    ;command to copy shapes to extrac view
     
   
   );end foreach

 
 
  );end ivIf

) ;   drcExtractRules

  • You can't do this (as far as I know). You could separately traverse the layout hierarchy using SKILL and recursively find the transformations needed to copy each label into the view you generated using Diva - that would be quite quick as there are unlikely to be that many labels.
