Increasing metal width of entire net in cadence layout

LakshmanQual

Hi Team,

I had got net plot using cvPplot(). Now i want to increase the metal width of entire net by delta X which consists of different metals.

Is there any option to increase the metal width through SKILL code?

    Hi LakshmanQual

    I think "cvPplot()" is most likely a function which has been created by the CAD team of your company. It is not an official Cadence SKILL function. You might want to check with the owner of the function on this request.

    Here is a sample procedure which can change the width all of all top level path/pathSegs of a net:

    procedure( CCSchangeMetalWidth(netName newWidth)
       let( (cv net pathSegList)
          cv=geGetWindowCellView()
          net=dbFindNetByName(cv netName)
          unless( net error("Cannot find net %s in cellview %s/%s/%s" netName cv~>libName cv~>cellName cv~>viewName))
          pathSegList=setof(x net~>figs x~>layerName && pcreMatchp("path" x~>objType))
          pathSegList~>width=newWidth
       ) ;let
    ) ;procedure


    Best regards
    Quek
