*WARNING* (axlDBPinPairLength): Invalid database id argument

axlDBPinPairLength takes pin dbids as arguments not pin names.

Hi Dave,

I also tried to use dbids with no success. I grabbed some pins using "net = car(axlSelectByName("NET" "PROC_EXAMPLE"))" and then lpins = axlPinsOfNet(net, 'pins). I then tried some methods of pasting the dbids:

axlDBPinPairLength(dbid:000001A43FE50BB0 dbid:000001A44044AB08)

axlDBPinPairLength("dbid:000001A43FE50BB0" "dbid:000001A44044AB08")

axlDBPinPairLength(000001A43FE50BB0 000001A44044AB08)

axlDBPinPairLength("000001A43FE50BB0" "000001A44044AB08")

Maybe I am inputting the arguments incorrectly? I just started using SKILL today, so apologies for my ignorance here. I am trying to eventually make a custom report to get etch lengths between pin pairs of my own choosing, similar to the "Etch Length by Pin Pair" report. 

You can't type in the dbids. Try something like axlDBPinPairLength(car(lpins), cadr(Ipins))

That worked (assuming cadr is a typo and should be car). My question now is that how would one go about and specify a pin if the net has multiple pins? Is there also a way to convert dbids into something that axlDBPinPairLength would take as an argument? 

cadr isn't a typo. It returns the second item in a list.

To get the correct pin requires an understanding of Skill that you will need to develop.

dbids are dynamic so  you should never "convert" them.
