How to get the coordinates of a net using skill?

Genas

Hi,

I'm new skill developer and was wondering if anybody can assist with a skill code to get the coordinates of a net.

The net is just a floating net with both sides unconnected.

The attached image shows the net.

What I want is to get the coordinates of both ends and check to see if an instance or any object connects or touches the ends.

I'll appreciate any assistance with this

Thanks

Genas

    If it's selected, then car(geGetSelSet())~>points will tell you this. Otherwise you could look for all wires:

    cv=geGetEditCellView()
    foreach(shape cv~>shapes
      when((shape~>objType=="line" || shape~>objType=="path") && shape~>layerName=="wire"
        printf("LINE COORDINATES: %L\n" shape~>points)
      )
    )

    Andrew.

    Thanks for the reply. What if I want to see if any instance touches any end?

    You can do that with dbGetOveraps or one of the dbQuery functions
