Assign connectivity to metals using SKILL

Hi Uday,

I think in order to get this running in VXL you need to set the SKILL environment variable extractKeepShapeAssignment to true - just put this line in your .cdsenv

layout extractKeepShapeAssignment boolean t

and then:

cvid = geGetEditCellView()
path_db = dbCreatePathSeg(cvid "M1" 0:0 1:0 0.1 "truncate" "truncate")
net_db=dbMakeNet(cvid "vdd")
dbAddFigToNet(path_db net_db)

By the way - you may as well set this flag/variable in the Layout XL options under the Connectivity tab.

Hi Max,

Setting the environment variable made no difference to output.

Below code worked fine:

cvid = geGetEditCellView()

selNets= geGetSelSet()

parentNet = dbMakeNet(cvid "net1")

parentNet1 = dbMakeNet(cvid "net1" parentNet)

if(selNets == nil then

                println("Phase1")

                abc=dbCreatePath(cvID list("M3" "drawing") '((2 2) (2 4) (2 6)) 2)

                abc~>lxStickyNet=t

                dbSetq(abc parentNet1 net)

else

                println("Phase2")            

                foreach(selNet selNets

                                selNet~>lxStickyNet=t                    

                                dbSetq(selNet parentNet1 net)

                );foreach

);if

Thanks,

Uday

Uday,

You can't assign a net using:

  path_db~>net = net_db

or

  dbSetq(selNet parentNet1 net)

You need to use dbAddFigToNet(selNet parentNet1)

(your variable names are a bit confusing, since selNet is a figure, not a net).

Andrew

Hmmh...it did work for me. Open an empty cell view in VXL and then copy and paste the above code. A path segment labeled "vdd" appears and the net is also visible in the connectivity tab of the "Edit Properties" form.
