Hi,

I don't have time for a complete solution but below is a script just
to create
path shapes in Virtuoso based on rectangular shapes.
I haven't found the command to remove shapes since I don't have time.
Also haven't had time to try net property creation.

Layer has to be specified beforehand.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; specify layer first
LYR = "MET1"

CV = geGetEditCellView()
Rects = setof(x CV~>shapes x~>objType=="rect")

foreach( y Rects

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; get net property of 'y' here
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; maybe use 'NET = y~>net'

MIDY = 0.5*(topEdge(y)+bottomEdge(y))
W = topEdge(y)-bottomEdge(y)
PATH = dbCreatePath(CV LYR list( leftEdge(y):MIDY
rightEdge(y):MIDY ) W)

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; set net of 'PATH' here
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; maybe use 'PATH~>net = y~>net'

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; delete 'y' object here
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ???

) ;end foreach loop
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
