SKILL Routine for creating and merging triangles onto path's

[parmeter]

Looking to see if there are any subroutines that
you can define the triangle lenghts for two of
the three sides as well as left or right justification or left and right.
To join these at the end of the path and if
possible to merge to the path.
Thanks in advance for any input to this matter.

I don't really understand what you're tryng to do here. To create a polygon,
you'd use dbCreatePolygon(), and give it the points in the polygon (three points
would be sufficient). I don't know what left and right justifcation of a
triangle means.

You can use leMergeShapes() or dbLayerOr() to merge the path with the polygon,
or create a new merged polygon (respectively).

Andrew.

What I am trying to achieve is to develope a
script that will create chamfers wherever a
90 degree angle exists for a specified layer
between different cell blocks.
For example where a path connects to a bondpad.
Especially where there are many pinouts at the
padring.
This would save much time in the manual creations
of the chamfers between the different objects.
Thanks again for any help in this matter.
Sincerely,
