db_get_rep_db_factor()

Returns the conversion factor of database units per layout unit. For a layout resolution 0.001, this factor is 1,000/layout unit. For a resolution of 0.1, this factor is 10/layout unit. Note that the actual choice of layout unit does not affect the value of this factor.

Note db_get_rep_db_factor() should not be used in layout artwork macros. It will create artwork size that is a function of the layout database resolution, which can lead to undesirable scaling of the artwork.

Syntax:

db_get_rep_db_factor(repHandle);

where

repHandle is the handle of a design representation, as returned from db_get_rep().

Example:

decl conFact;
decl repH;
repH = db_get_current_design_rep();
conFact = db_get_rep_db_factor(repH);
