Command for finding the coordinates of a macro in Encounter

[tweethy]

Is there any command in Encounter to get the coordinates of a macro?..I am writing a script in which i need the coordinates of all the macros.

set fid [open macro_locations.tcl w]

dbForEachCellInst [dbgTopCell] inst {
set cellName [dbInstCellName $inst]
if [dbIsCellBlock $cellName] {
selectInst [dbInstName $inst]
set obj [dbInstName $inst]
#puts $cellName
set loc [dbInstLoc $inst]
set x [dbDBUToMicrons [dbLocX $loc]]
set y [dbDBUToMicrons [dbLocY $loc]]
set orient [dbInstOrient $inst]
regsub dbc $orient {} orient
if {[dbIsInstPreplaced $inst]} {
puts $fid "placeInstance $obj $x $y $orient -fixed"
puts "placeInstance $obj $x $y $orient -fixed"
} else {
puts $fid "placeInstance $obj $x $y $orient -fixed"
puts "placeInstance $obj $x $y $orient -fixed"
}
}
}
close $fid

select all the macros and then reportSelected will give u coordinates, orientation and other info. Grep for instance name and its location co ordinates.

As yada VLSI script does the work, and i recommend you gain expertise over the db commands of Encounter. It will help when the database is huge.
