Obtaining List of All Etch Layers in a Design

wERerABbiT

 Hi All,

May I know if there is a function to list all the etch layers in a design (including the layer type, such as plane or conductorl)?

For example if my design has 10 layers named TOP, LAYER2, LAYER3,..... BOTTOM.

How do I get the list of layer names and the corresponding layer type?

Thanks All

    axlSubclasses("ETCH") lists all the ETCH subclasses
    axlDBGetLayerType("ETCH/TOP") returns the layer type

     Hi,

    You can also use axlSubclassRoute, this will give you a list of all routing layer names.
