script for finding different trace widths on a net on a layer

There is a report that does the entire net, netwidth/length by layer. I would like a script that would allow me to select one net and it would tell me the width/length for that net on that layer.

Thanks, Dianej

No problem. A version with the correct command register is attached.

Thanks Dave, this is a great script! I'd be interested in knowing how you came to be proficient at writing Skill code? Are there resources you could point to that were helpful? Did you know any other programming languages already? Best Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the feedback.
Long before I got into PCB design I had dabbled in programming. At high school my first code was for a PDP8! We programmed in binary code back then by physically toggling switches. That ages me for those brought up in the age of personal computers. Before we ran Cadence here we had UniCAD. The programming lanuage for UniCAD was Lisp so it was an easy transition to Skill. I have been using Cadence Skill now for about 10 years. I maintain about 200 utilities for my company.
Regards,
Dave
