[quote userid="4936" url="~/cadence_technology_forums/f/custom-ic-skill/39836/layout-object-purpose-number-directly/1355980#1355980"] Unfortunately there's no direct access to purpose numbers. What does happen though is that if you look at ~>lpp on a shape, then if the purpose (or layer) is not defined in the tech file it will return either the purpose (or layer) as a number instead. So I think you can do this without needing the original PDK enabled - that's probably safer than having them both at once (they may share some common functions, for example). [/quote][quote userid="368982" url="~/cadence_technology_forums/f/custom-ic-skill/39836/layout-object-purpose-number-directly"] printf("Purpose number = %u\n" techGetPurposeName(tech, fig->purpose)) [/quote] I'm confused here. techGetPurposeName() gives out only the name of the given purpose. The original question of this thread and my need is to find the purpose number (GDS number given in the layer map for stream out). Is there any function to access this? -Ramakrishnan![]()
