Multipart pathes

[Guenther Sohler]

Hallo group,

i am looking at the cadence MPP(multipart pathes)
and they seem to be very effective when creating guardrings etc.

However it seems to be a very big effort to create them unless they
are completely created by a skill script, because if you select the
MPP from the menu, you always have to specify manually all the layers.

In't it possible to finally provide something like the 'o' for Contacts ;
that could mean:

you press 'p' select the Path Type(NTAP, PTAP usw) ,draw the path points
and finally get your guard ring.


Is't this already possible, or do i just miss something ....

Hi Guenther,

yes you missed something. You can save your MPPs into a template file or (if you
have write access) into the technology file. Just use the "Save" button at the
bottom of the MPP form.
So next time you load your template and just select the type of MPP you like to
draw from the list of predefined MPPs.

Regards,
Marc

after selecting create->multipart path hit the "F3" key this brings
up a property form.
the MPP templates are what you are looking for, they can be saved and
loaded. Click on the
button labelled "MPP Template" (it usually is labelled New) to see if
any are already defined
in the technology file for the process you are using.
