Extract xsection and draw it

HI all,

I have used a skill program from that forum that extract layer etch and draw it to the design.

I have modified it to use the news api 16.x function.

I also extract thikness inter layer etc.

This is my first program so be gentle with me.

I attach it and let me know if i need to change something before send it to cadence to review it.

to use it, you just need to type XSection2 in your skill window.

regards

Jonathan

update

I have added the total thickness

Is it possible that the axlGetXSection always return the units mil ?
I have put my database in mm, the xsection show it in mm but the axlGetXSection return it in mil.

DO i have to do the conversion myself ?

It would appear to that the cross section thickness value is "always" in "mils". That could mean that the cross section values are "always" stored in "mils" and converted before display in the cross section control for the design. In which case, this routine would need another "case statement" to convert between the "mils" that the thickness is "dumped" in and the desired display in database units. I admit that I have only tried this on a design converted to "mm", the cross section control is correct but the axlGetXSection() returns "mils", at least it attaches the units!

Try the attached.
I have added the thickness conversion, thickness formatting to user accuracy, fixed issue with index when adding the bounding rectangle.
Routine still called XSection2.

There seems to be a useful SKILL script here but the link is dead.

Thx.

The link to the original attachment "Create_XSection_Figure.il" is not available on the community site for some reason. Here is the SKILL file attachmnet from the original post. Hopefully the resulting link will work and if not we have a SKILL forum problem.
OK. The attachment problem seems to be related to the ".il" extension so I added the SKILL file to a ZIP file, reattached and it is now availabIe. I dropped Cadence an additional email. Stay Tuned
Hope this helps,
