Get Coordinates of highlights

RK56
RK56 1 hour ago

Hi,

My DRC tool creates highlights in the layout window. I believe they are created using highlight sets. Is it possible to read the coordinates of the highlight sets in a layout window? I dont know the highlight setID as they are created by some 3rd part tool. My plan is to retrieve coordinates from the highlight shapes and then provide them to leComputeDensity so that I can easily measure the densities post fix and before a DRC run.

Thanks

Ram
