Examples

• Example 1: validPurposes with include
• Example 2: validPurposes with exclude

Example 1: validPurposes with include

For layers M1, M2, and M3, only purposes "drawing", "vss", and "vdd" are used by the connectivity extractor.

( "virtuosoDefaultExtractorSetup" nil
    interconnect(
     ( validLayers ("M1" "M2" "M3") )
  ( validPurposes 'include ("drawing" "vdd" "vss") )
 ) ;interconnect
) ;virtuosoDefaultExtractorSetup

Example 2: validPurposes with exclude

For layers M1, M2, and M3, purpose "trackRegion" is excluded from use by the connectivity extractor.

( "virtuosoDefaultExtractorSetup" nil
    interconnect(
     ( validLayers ("M1" "M2" "M3") )
  ( validPurposes 'exclude ("trackRegion") ) 
 ) ;interconnect
) ;virtuosoDefaultExtractorSetup
