Get a size of part outline

Rascal

Hi,

I'm trying to get a size of symbol's outline

I used axlDBGetExtents, but it only answers (0:0 0:0).

Help me to get a value of symbol's outline

  • Ejlersen

    Hi

    Can you give more details? 

    Are you within a board or a symbol.

    If you're within a symbol what outline are you looking for, place_bound, dfa or something else

    Best regards

    OIe

    I think axlDBGetExtents only works with physical objects (such as symbol, shape, lines), not logical objects ( such as components, functions & nets )

    below is an example of getting a symbol's outline, I only have package geometry/place_bound_top visible:

    My experience of this tool is not enough that I couldn't give you a proper Information.

    Maybe, for me, place_bound is needed.

    Also, Could you explain what dfa is?

    It would be helpful for my future automation development

    Thanks

    Thanks

    But I did same code, still it only showed me nil

    Is there any settings or something else that prior to get a extents from symbol ?

    It's not clear what you want.

    You could try axlDBGetExtents(axlDBGetShapes("PACKAGE GEOMETRY/PLACE_BOUND_TOP"), nil)
