Moving ILLabel and normalLabel of a terminal via SKILL

slim15

I am trying to use SKILL to move pins in Symbol and so far I have only been able to move the figure, the bBox for the children for ILLabel and normalILabel does not get updated properly. The steps that I am doing is as follow

cv=geGetEditCellView() ;
term=dbFindTermByName(cv "IN_VIN") ;

term~>pins~>figs~>bBox = list(0.5:0.5 0.55:0.55)

Even after trying to update the bBox for the children in as follow

cv=geGetEditCellView() ; 
term=dbFindTermByName(cv "IN_VIN") ; 
foreach(pin term~>pins
  foreach(fig pin~>figs
    foreach(child fig~>children
      when(child~>objType=="label"
        child~>bBox = list(0:0 0:0)
      )
    )
  )
)

Is there a built-in command that can move all the terminals along with all their attached labels together? 

  • You can only set the bBox on rectangles and a couple of other shape types (like ellipse) which are completely defined by the bounding box. Most other objects, the bBox is a readonly attribute - in the case of a label, it's a function of the location of the label (the xy attribute), the text itself, the orientation, justification, font and so on. You can set the ~>xy of the label. For things like lines and polygons you'd set ~>points.

    Note that an alternative way of achieving this would be to use dbMoveFig on the pin figure rather than just setting the bBox. If you do that, any children objects get moved by the same transformation.
