About encounter DB command & its hidden option?

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Dear All:

I am a new comer here, I got two questions to ask:

1. Is there any db commands that can manipulate polygons, which means that I can cut a rectangular region or fence into polygon shaped?
2. Can anyone tell me some encounter hidden variables like "set drouteUseMinSpacingForBlockage true"

    1. Really thanks, BobD!!! :-) But I really found that when I want to get the module constraint (such as region, guide , fence, etc) boudary box, if the really boundary is a L shaped (or any other polygon shaped) box, I use the 'dbConstraintBox' command, I get the rectangular box, not a polygon.......sigh! Is there a command through which I can get polygons!?

    2. For the hidden variables, when I use the 'ecoChangeCell' command, encounter just run 'refinePlace' everytime it finishes a 'ecoChangeCell' command ,is there a variable to control this. By which I can just run 'refinePlace' once after all 'ecoChangeCell' commands?
