Track terminals name connected to a path using SKILL

Hi,

I am using Cadence Virtuoso Layout XL 6.1.7. I have a layout in which two terminals of 2 different devices are connected through a path with multiple bends. I am using SKILL to extract the pins that are connected to that path using SKILL. For example:

;; Extract all paths in the given layout

pathList = setof(shape cv~>shapes member(shape~>objType '("path" "pathSeg")) && (shape~>layerName=="ITO" || shape~>layerName=="PEDOT_PSS"))

;; for each path
path~>route~>startConn~>term~>name

path~>route~>endConn~>term~>name

with these commands I can extract the start and end connection terminal of this path. But due to multiple bends, the path is made up of multiple small paths and sometime I select those intermediate paths. With these intermediate paths If I try to extract the startConn and endConn then returns me nil. Is there any possibility to track back or forward to extract the startConn or endConn from this intermediate path ? Should I merge the whole path between two pins first and then extract the terminals attached to it ? or should I write a code to tract back until I reach the terminal ?

Thanks

    Hi Farhan,

    Did you try looking at the "route" object? This should contain all of the pathSegs in a connection from one point to another.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
