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 

 

 

 

  • Thank you, both.  I definitely need to delve into the world of Skill.  I see sooooo much power and capability, but keep getting caught at the bottom of the learning curve.  It's time.  Yes, it's time.   :)

  • xsection=axlGetXSection()

    Then you will have to traverse the information filtering out what you need.

    For instance the second dbid of xsection will be the "TOP" layer.

    top = nth(1 xsection)

    Then do top->?? to see the information of that layer.

    Skill > top->??
    ("CONDUCTOR" "COPPER" "  2.530000 mil" "0 w/cm-degC" "580000.000000 mho/cm"
        "4.500000" nil nil "0" ""
        "3.700000" "0" nil "90.000000"
    )

  • A quick foreach:

    xsection = axlGetXSection()
    foreach(layer xsection
        cond(
        (cadr(layer) == "CONDUCTOR"
        axlMsgPut("layer name = %s\n" car(layer))
        axlMsgPut("Layer type = %s\n" cadr(layer))
        )
        (cadr(layer) == "PLANE"
        axlMsgPut("layer name = %s\n" car(layer))
        axlMsgPut("Layer type = %s\n" cadr(layer))
        )
        )
    )
