LayoutToNetlist::shapes_of_net

tagger5896

Hi Matthias,

I using the following from an example posted, below
the code extracts the net as expected ie:VDD.
But if I short out the net to say "LB" in the example "Ringo" cell
the code throws the following error.

   Arguments of reference or direct type cannot be passed nil in LayoutToNetlist::shapes_of_net in MacroInterpreter::execute

   net = top_circuit.net_by_name(value)

   # outputs the shapes for this net to layers 1000 (ntie), 1001 (ptie), 1002 (nwell)
   # etc ...

Hi Tracy,

I took the liberty to edit your text so it becomes more readable. This forum supports Markdown, so please use it properly.

Regarding your problem: I assume that "net" is nil. Maybe because "value" is a string which is not a valid net name. Could you check this?

Kind regards,

Matthias
