skill:change drc error marker to metal layer

[Ash]

Hi All,

I wrote a drc rule to check for metal edge spacings and have error
markers in between the edges in the layout. I want to move the error
marker to both the metal layers(above and below). Can anyone guide me
in doing this? My final intent is to obtain the error metal net name
using the marker coordinates.

Thanks in advance
Aswin

You need to write a rule that flags the metals, not the gaps.
Any rule that flags a gap will generare flags on 2 nets.
In diva/Assura write the rule to generate the "edges" that
generate the error, then grow the edges and save them to an
extra conducting layer (not DRC) and then "stamp" them with
the metal. Note that this is potentially dangerous as each time
you run this check you generate more new stamps, so I would
delete these stamps at the start of the run.
YMMV
