 Hi,

I just started cadence couple of days back for designing my patterns, I wanted to subtract two layers and already wrote a code but not sure its a right one or not. Could anyone help me please and let me know is this a right on or not,

 load("/usr/cdscad/libw/utils/rectw.il")


procedure( subtraction( @optional origin ww tlength outlayer)
(prog (xx yy np xo yo lw)

   subl1 = nil
   subl2 = nil

   xo = xCoord(origin)
   yo = yCoord(origin)
   


;; Draw First rect Layer

   xx = xo
   yy = yo-ww/2.0
   r = rectw(xx yy tlength ww "metal1")
 subl1 = append(subl1, list(r))

;; Draw Second rect Layer

   xx = xo
   yy = yo-ww/2.0
   r = rectw(xx yy tlength ww "metal2")
  subl2 = append(subl2, list(r))

dbLayerAndNot((getEditRep) outlayer subl1 subl2)

)

)

 

Thanks

    You may want to submit this question to the Custom IC Skill Forum, if you are using a Cadence IC tool.

    If you are programming to the SPB Allegro board tool then you will want to look at the axlPolyOperation API since your example code is written using the Cadence IC set of APIs which are not suport by the Allegro tool.
