SKILL code to change all the existing Metal layers to its corresponding fillBlock layer

ssram

I'm a very beginner to the SKILL scripting, so just looking out for help to write a SKILL code to change all the existing Metal layers to its corresponding fillBlock layer in my layout.

As a start i wrote a few lines to check if the selected metal is "m2" in my layout

and to print "Layer name is m2" if it is

& if it is not, and print "Layer name is NOT m2"

The code is below, but its not doing what i intend it to, please help me fix it:

procedure(MetalToFillBlock()
let((m2)
if(geGetSelSet()~>layerName == m2
then
printf("Layer name is m2")
else
printf("Layer name is NOT m2"))
);let
);procedure

  • Hi,

    For one geGetSelSet() returns a list and not a shape. Assuming that you did select a shape (and not an instance or via or whatever) you  need to get at the (first and only) element in the list in terms of a car statement.
    Moreover you initialize a variable m2 to nil in the let statement - but I assume you want to compare against the string "m2". So try this:

    procedure(MetalToFillBlock()
       let(()
          if(car(geGetSelSet())~>layerName == "m2"
          then
             printf("Layer name is m2")
          else
             printf("Layer name is NOT m2"))
       );let
    )
