Hi everyone,

Can anyone help me how to know if use xhatch thermal width is checked.

Or there is a property attached to shape to know this is checked

Or there is a API for this one. Thanks

.

    A method you can use is to export parameters (axlExportXmlDBRecords) and get the value of use_xhatch_therm_width from the prm file.

    I'd like to think there is an easier way.

    Hi eDave,

    Thanks for the quick response but axlExportXmlDBRecords didn't give exact value for use hatch thermal width.

    I already check or enable the "use hatch thermal width" but in gives me 0 value.

    "params" are "design level", you have a Shape Instance override, which, likely, wouldn't be applicable to another design as "params" would be. From a look at the algroSkill document, Shapes have a dynamicGroup listed, the description mentions "returning an object", which would be a dbid, but type is listed a "t/nil" which would not be an object. I suspect that, if you want to be able to get to the Void overrides, you would need to select all of the Shapes, "Find filter and select them into a list", and then work through the dynamicGroup(s), the issue is that there is no documentation for what the dynamicGroup consists of, at least in the documentation that I can find. If you want to persevere with this, you will probably need to contact Cadence Support. directly, or through your Channel Partner, to get the documentation of Shapes and dynamicGroup property clarified.
