Creating multipart PATHS with SKILL

[Stavros Eleftherakis]

Hello,
I am trying an octagonal path of N turns in virtuoso writting with
skill. Each turn has 8 seperate paths that they are pieced together
with the command list() At my code i use the command dbCreatePath N
times to build the path.But the last path of one turn is not coincide
perfectly with the first path of the next turn (because of the 45
degrees angle that differ).
Can i have a loop into the command dbCreatePath like this ( to have a
unique path) ? How can i fix this problem?
Thank you very much,
Stavros

pcInst = dbCreatPath(pcCellView
list(pcLayer pcPurpose)
for(i 1 Nspires
list((x1:y1)
x2:y2)
....
....
); list
i=i+1
) ;for
)

How about
having the loop outside of the
dbCreate command and store to output in a list of points

let( ( l_points )

for( i 1 Nspires
l_points = cons( l_newPoint l_points )
++i
) ;; close for

dbCreatePath(
d_cellView
( tx_layer [ t_purpose ] )
l_points
x_width
)

)

) ;; close let

and why did you not use the 'rodCreatePath' function
rather than dbCreatePath?
