Measure the distance between poly

RicardoGV1

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to measure the distance between resistors, to then check if there is anything strange like a resistor having its fingers space 0.25um  but then the space to a dummy resistor farther than the 0.25.

I found this attached post which create rulers between the layers, the thing is that only works on the current hierarchy, is there any way to do it on all the lvl's?, to kind of flatten everything, create the rulers and then erase everything. 

If anyone could help me to see a better way of doing it or guide me a little bit for doing the flattening stuff would be great. 


create rulers/measurements for width of (and spacing between) shapes in a given area

getVersion()->virtuoso version 6.1.8-64b

getVersion("virtuoso")->sub-version IC6.1.8-64b.500.22

T
hanks in advance

Best regards,
R.Gómez

    If you want a to just measure you might want to try the Dynamic Measurement option with the Ruler function

    If you want a print out or write to a file the functions AurelBuche mention are good.
    ( if you are measuring polygon dbGetNeighbor has the limitation of measuring to the bounding box of the shape )
