Route single connection

farhan89

Is there any SKILL function that can be called from non-GUI version of virtuoso (by running OCEAN) to route a single connection using virtuoso space based router ?. Typically VSR route the complete net but I want to divide the connections of the nets in to pairs and then route a single connection on a net. I am using Virtuoso 6.1.7.

    No - there's lxSelectedRoute and lxSelectedRouteNet, but these require something to be selected, and so need a layout window. It wouldn't be "OCEAN" anyway, because this is for simulation purposes...

    Thanks Andrew for you help.
    Since I wanted to have point to point routing I used leHiP2P() but I don't understand why routing doesn't work if I define coordinates through for loop. My code is given below:


    routeList = (((1343.0 817.0) (450.5 1119.5)) ((1684.514 2085.5) (1343.0 1407.0)) ((1343.0 1407.0) (203.0 1414.5)) ((791.5135 2085.5) (1095.5 1112.0)) ((1095.5 1112.0) (450.5 1709.5)) ((1471.0 2275.5) (578.0 2275.5)))

    leHiP2P()
    foreach(pair routeList
      ;printf("first %L, second %L" cadar(pair) cadadr(pair))
     
      ;printf("Pair %L" pair)
      mouseAddPt(t)
      caar(pair):cadar(pair)
     
      mouseAddPt(t)
      caadr(pair):cadadr(pair)
      mouseApplyOrFinishPoint()
     
    )

    cancelEnterFun()

    This won't work. leHiP2P() is a blocking function and so the subsequent code won't get executed until it completes. Even if it did, the specific calls to coordinates won't get passed to the enter function if called from code. You might be able to do the loop and use preXY() to queue up the coordinates before calling leHiP2P - I've not tried doing this though.

    In general though, use of a routing function this way isn't really supported as it could be used as a poor man's full auto-router (it would do one net at a time, and so wouldn't necessarily be optimal, but nevertheless it's not an intended use model).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
