getting an unknown error while using abeLayerXor in layout

RAGHU2634

Hi,

I am trying to generate a layer in the regions of (don't overlap b/w two layers) .This are the steps i followed . This is giving an error saying 

*Error* abeLayerXor: First layer not correctly specified - nil

Please let me know the issue

tf=techGetTechFile(geGetEditCellView())

tf1=techFindLayer(tf 12)
tf2=techFindLayer(tf 15)
tf3=techFindLayer(tf 18)
tf4=techFindLayer(tf 1090)
tf5=techFindLayer(tf 1091)
tf6=techFindLayer(tf 1092)
tf7=techFindLayer(tf 1093)
tf8=techFindLayer(tf 1117)
tf9=techFindLayer(tf 1118)
tf10=techFindLayer(tf 1130)
tf11=techFindLayer(tf 236)

tf12=techFindLayer(tf 59)


abeInit(geGetEditCellView())

abeLayerXor(tf1 tf11 tf12)

Thanks,

Raghu

    The abeLayerXor does not accept technology file layer representations. It needs an "abe" layer object - as produced by abeNewLayer, abeLayerFromCellView, abeLayerFromShapes or in fact from any of the other abe layer functions. So something like:
    abe1=abeLayerFromCellView(tf1~>name)
    abe11=abeLayerFromCellView(tf11~>name)
    abeOut=abeNewLayer()
    abeLayerXor(abe1 abe11 abeOut)
    abeLayerToCellView(abeOut tf12~>name)
    is probably what you're trying to do. Not sure why you're doing everything with layer numbers - the abe functions expect layer names (hence the ~>name that I use above).
    Regards,
    Andrew.
