Convert Multi Path Part to Fluid Guard Ring

Tom Sawyer

So we have an existing layout with MPP then we want to replace all of them with FGR.
Is there an automation to do this?

    There isn't really a way to do this in a general purpose way (without writing code very specific to what you're trying to do - for your technology, MPPs and Fluid Guard Ring definitions). A multi-part path contains all the information about the shapes and dimensions in the MPP, and trying to map that to an appropriate Fluid Guard Ring (where some of that is in the pcell) is going to be challenging. You could just re-use the centre line (the points on the master object in the MPP) if you know what is an appropriate FGR to use. This article might get you started on how to programmatically create a fluid guard ring instance.
