Extract xsection and draw it

archive
archive over 17 years ago

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

    Venkata,

    I have been using your script with great success until I upgraded to 16.5. Now I get the following error message (see attachment). Any help will be appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Ron Scott

    Hi Ron looks like you are running the script file and the skill file is not found in the working directory you should include the path or load the skill file using allegro.ilinit so that xs is available all the time just put the stack.il in the working director or your skill directory then type skill load "stack.il" now just type xs

    With 16.5, look under the Manufacture menu and try the "Cross Section Chart" command.

    Thanks, I tried the new chart and found I liked my script better. Found out what I was doing wrong and it works just fine.

    Cheers,
