Copying a via or Pcell with a user defined X and Y

santhosh08

Hi,

   I am trying to copy PDK Vias from one cellview to another cellview using dbCopyFig but the deltaX and deltaY ae not same in my case. How can I copy with the user defined co-ordinates or move the vias to a required location in the newly copied view.

---> This code copies all types of vias  with the same co-odinates from old layout(cv) to new layout(cv1) 

foreach(inst cv~>vias
;if(inst~>objType=="stdVia" then
bbox=inst~>bBox
llx=car(nth(0 bbox))
lly=cadr(nth(0 bbox))
urx=car(nth(1 bbox))
ury=cadr(nth(1 bbox))
printf("Found Via llx=%f \t lly=%f \t urx=%f \t ury=%f \n" llx lly urx ury)
dbCopyFig(inst cv1 list( list(0 0) "R0"))
; );if stdVia
);foreach cv

Problem statement --> Here while copying, I want to multiply the X,Y of vias in old layout and copy in new layout with these co-ordinates. "dbCopyFig" allows to copy with (delta-x:delta-y) only.

Please help me with this and thanks in advance.

Regards,

Santhosh

  • A bit of a strange requirement, but you could use:

    ; multiplication factors
    xFactor=2
    yFactor=3
    ; this bit inside the loop
    xy=inst~>xy
    dbCopyFig(inst cv1 list(list(xCoord(xy)*(xFactor-1) yCoord(xy)*(yFactor-1)) "R0"))

    Of course, I may have misunderstood your requirement. If I didn't understand correctly, please explain what you mean by "multiply the X,Y of vias". The code above should place the vias at xFactor*originalX:yFactor*originalY.
