Reg copy of selected objects to the current cellview

[noreply]

Dear All,
I have made one half of a symmetrical layout with all net connection
and pin names. And i want to create the other symmetrical half using
copy command with "R180" rotation(And i want to copy it in the same
cellview. I tried the dbCopyFig() command but since there where many
objects the command wasn't properly working).
How to do this using skill.
When i tried to do this using interactive mode, some of the objects in
the layout got disoriented when i did the 180 degree rotation. How to
go about it?

Regards,
Lokesh rajendran.

Lokesh,

My guess is that you're not computing the transformation properly.

This code may help. It's written to work on the selected set, but it would be a
simple modification to pass in the list of figures to process. It can either
move or copy during the flip (or rotate).

I think there are a couple of strings (in the (error...) calls) which may have
got line wrapped - so watch out.

Regards,

Andrew.

Functions to do flipping (and rotation) in place. Examples
of usage:

abFlip()
- does a flip horizontally relative to the centre of the selected figures
abFlip(?relativeTo 'lowerLeft)
- does a horizontal flip relative to the lower left corner
abFlip(?orient "MX" ?relativeTo 'upperRight)
- does a vertical flip relative to the upperRight corner
abFlip(?orient "MY" ?relativeTo 'upperRight ?mode 'copy)
- does a horizontal flipped copy relative to the upperRight corner
abFlip(?orient "R90" ?relativeTo 'refPoint)
- does a 90 degree rotation relative to the reference point (often
the + key on the numeric keypad).

In this function:

?orient can be set to:

"MY" - mirror in Y axis (i.e. horizontal flip) (default)
"MX" - mirror in X axis (i.e. vertical flip)
"R90" - 90 degree anti-clockwise rotate
"R180" - 180 degree anti-clockwise rotate
"R270" - 90 degree clockwise rotate
"R0" - no rotation (not much point!)
"MYR90" - mirror in Y axis and rotate by 90
"MXR90" - mirror in X axis and rotate by 90

?relativeTo can be set to:

'centerBox - center of selected figures (default)
'lowerLeft - lower left of selected figures
'lowerRight - lower right of selected figures
'upperLeft - upper left of selected figures
'upperRight - upper right of selected figures
'refPoint - the reference point
'origin - the cellview origin (i.e. 0:0)

?mode can be set to

'move - (the default) flip during a move
'copy - (the default) flip during a copy

?noSnap can be set to t if you don't want it to
snap the origin of the flip

abSetRefPoint(?relativeTo 'upperLeft)
- set the ref point relative to the selected objects

The ?relativeTo has the same meaning as for abFlip()

Hi andrew,
I'm still going through the code.
Just a few doubts:
*abFindBBox-- Is this some standard function?
*Is there any command to lock the objects in their position while
doing a copy. Like, if we call a cellview as an instance, the inner
components in the hierarchy(instance) remain intact.
Regards,
Lokesh rajendran.

Hi andrew,
Finally i figured out what the actual problem was, I don't know how
far this makes sense.
The layout that i did was a completely automated one in which the
multipartpath(like substrate ring) and the instance placement
everything was done with the use of skill code. I also had another
layout that was a manually routed one. The manual routed layout
behaves as expected when i do a copy with "MY" orientation but the
automated layout is behaving in a more weird way while copying, it
seems as if the autorouted stuff(like multipart path and some other
path ) does not change their orientation.
{If i manually click and edit the properties of MPP(after copying
them) and change their justification the MPP object gets fitted into
the desired position}
I guess you might have come across this kind of error before,
Please do pass your comments.
Regards,
Lokesh rajendran.

Apologies, that function is from a different file, which I forgot to include. It's below.

I don't understand your second question. You want to flip them but not flip them? Confused of Bracknell here...

Hi andrew,
Finally i figured out what the actual problem was, I don't know how
far this makes sense.
The layout that i did was a completely automated one in which the
multipartpath(like substrate ring) and the instance placement
everything was done with the use of skill code. I also had another
layout that was a manually routed one. The manual routed layout
behaves as expected when i do a copy with "MY" orientation but the
automated layout is behaving in a more weird way while copying, it
seems as if the autorouted stuff(like multipart path and some other
path ) does not change their orientation.
{If i manually click and edit the properties of MPP(after copying
them) and change their justification the MPP object gets fitted into
the desired position}
I guess you might have come across this kind of error before,
Please do pass your comments.

Multipart paths which are not symmetrical about the definition path do not
get flipped when you do a flip. This is because they are completely defined by
the points on the master path, and there is no concept of "orientation" for a
path. It's a known limitation of multi-part paths.

Regards,

Andrew.

That's very bad, Anyway its my mistake ,should have known stuff
regarding MPP previously.
And Andrew thank you very much for the codes.
