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

  • Hi,

    I forgot to mention that if you're only looking for the name of the etch layers you could use

    my_layers = axlGetParam("paramLayerGroup:etch")

    This will give you a list of all the etch layers.

    You could then cycle through these using eg.

    foreach(layer my_layers->groupMembers
      layerparams = axlLayerGet(strcat("ETCH/" layer))
        if(layerparams->type=="PLANE" && layerparams->drcPhotoType=="negative" then
         pm = 0 ; plot mode negative
      else
       pm = 1 ; plot mode positive
      ) 

    There are many practical uses of this, if you could be more specific about what you wan't there may be an even easier or better way.

    Have fun
