?keepOut in rodFillWithRect()

Hi,

The ?keepOut argument needs to be a list of lists, the error message states this: ... Specify a list of keepouts, where a keepout is a list of points.

Try changing the excludeList, for example:
excludeList = list(list(list(0.15 -0.15)
list(0.15 0.15)
list(10.0 0.15)
list(10.0 -0.15)
list(0.15 -0.15))
)

Having said this, when I tried the correct format the rodFillWithRects() function did not seem to exclude the rects from that area.

Hopefully this helps though.

Best regards,

Lawrence.

Hi Lawrence,

Thanks for your answer, the error is cleaning.

as you said, the ?keepOut don't exclude a area from master rect.

may be I need try other skill function.

Thanks anyway.

The ?keepOut argument does work, but you must also specify ?outputFillShape. This is explained in Change in functionality of ROD function rodFillWithRects with keepOut option in IC6.1.7 ISR11. Example SKILL commands for dbCreateViaShapeArray.

I've requested that the documentation is fixed (it doesn't make this clear); you should be able to make your example work (with Lawrence's suggestion) by adding ?outputFillShape list(nil) to the argument list of rodFillWithRects
