archive
archive over 15 years ago

Hi 

Is there a way you can obtain the width/height info of a PAD in a particular layer

 Assume that all the pads I am trying to get are circular

 I can get to the dbid of the padid /pads/definition

 Basically I want to know for a given padstack what is the  definition of the size/type in a particular layer

is there an another way we can achieve it

any ideas/suggestion is greatly appreciated

regards

Venkata
