minOverlapDistance

orderedSpacings(
( minOverlapDistance tx_layer1 tx_layer2 
 f_overlap 
)
) ;orderedSpacings

Specifies the minimum distance a shape on one layer must overlap a shape on another layer. The overlap distance is measured between the inside edges of the two shapes.

The order of the layers does not matter because the same minimum overlap applies irrespective of whether layer1 overlaps layer2 or layer2 overlaps layer1.

Values

tx_layer1

The first layer on which the constraint is applied.

Type: String (layer and purpose names) or Integer (layer number)

tx_layer2

The second layer on which the constraint is applied.

Type: String (layer and purpose names) or Integer (layer number)

f_overlap

The overlap between the shapes must be greater than or equal to this value.

Parameters

None

Example

The overlap distance for Metal1 and Metal2 shapes must be at least 2.5.

orderedSpacings(
    ( minOverlapDistance "Metal1" "Metal2" 
     2.5
)
) ;orderedSpacings
