We want to rotate a cell with an arbitrary angle, not just at 0 deg, 90 deg, 180 deg, and 270 deg.

 We are using the following SKILL sentence:

 

dbCreateInst(cv Master nil coords "R0")

 

but we are not able to modify “R0” to any value.  Is it possible to modify the angle R0 from the SKILL sentence?

 

Regards,

  • The orientation of instances can only be the 8 orthogonal orientations (this is clear from the documentation):

    R0, R90, R180, R270, MY, MX, MYR90, MXR90

    This is a database restriction. One possibility is to use dbCreateXformPCell() - this will create a version of a cellView which supports a magnification and any-angle (it's achieved by creating a PCell which flattens and rotates the contents by an arbitrary angle; it should only be used with relatively small amounts of data as otherwise it could get very slow).
