rodCreatePath pts

I have a variable cellHeight and would like to create a straight path
from source to
to the top of the cell. Rl_fromObj does work but I get an "any angle"
path and I need
a straight path. The example below does work but isnt very elegant
or flexible. Is there
a way that specifies the "Y" point instead of a "add to"? The "X"
position will vary

foreach(ptran list(psourcel psourcer)
rodCreatePath( ?cvId cv
?termName powerName
?layer list(metal1Layer "drawing")
?width getq(ptran width)
?pts list(getq(ptran lowerCenter)
rodAddToY(getq(ptran upperCenter) cellHeight - 8.0)

)
)
); foreach

 

Hi rick,
The following is what i understood from your querry. You are trying to
draw an object(a metal layer or any path), which will be drawn in the
boundary of a cell and the dimension of the path will vary according
to the height of the cell.
I have written the following code in which a "metal 1" path is drawn
at the boundary of a MOSFET.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;Procedure defenition;;;;;;;;;;;;;
procedure(getRODobj()
cvId = deGetCellView()
dbId = car(geGetSelectedSet(cvId))
rodId = rodGetObj(dbId)
);proc
;;;;;;;;;;;;;Procedure defenition;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;Select the object in the layout window and the execute the following
code.
obj1=getRODobj()
obj1Height=obj1~>length;the height of the cell is got in this variable
;the following is to get the starting and ending point of the path
list1=car(obj1~>dbId~>bBox);start point--the lower left edge of the
cell
list2=rodAddToY(car(obj1~>dbId~>bBox) obj1Height);end point
NewList=list(list1 list2)
rodCreatePath(
?layer "ME1"
?width 0.4
?pts NewList
?cvId deGetCellView()
);rodCreatePath

Hope that what you were looking for !! and it helps you

If the y location is fixed, but you just want to keep the x-coord, then you
could use (instead of rodAddToY) :

list(xCoord(ptran->upperCenter) MYyLocation)
