| Hello,
|
| I would like to know if the grid can be exported after the processing of the global router output and/or the TA step.
|
|
|
| I'm planning on trying some other AI based approaches instead of Heuristics. And if I can export the grid or the clips it would be more helpful.
|
|
|
| Any idea/help will be much appreciated! |

| Do you mean the gcell grid? There are messages
|
|
|
| "GCELLGRID X {} DO {} STEP {} ;",
|
| "GCELLGRID Y {} DO {} STEP {} ;",
|
|
|
| that will give you those values. They don't change during drt. |
|

| The post-processed guides are generated as output_guide.mod in ORFS (controlled by -output_guide). Other internal state of the router is not exported today. |
|
|
| ### maliberty |
| Its the same guide format as the input guide file |

| Hello again,
|
| I would like to get the access points to each pin in a net and I saw [this on another discussion](https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD/discussions/625?sort=new#discussioncomment-636424), however, when I tried it the coordinates didn't make sense.
|
| For example when I try it on the nangate45 gcd, for the _000_ net we have: `_000_ ( _672_ D ) ( _504_ ZN ) + USE SIGNAL`
|
| and the components in the net are `_672_ DFF_X2 + PLACED ( 107540 145600 ) N ;` and `_504_ OAI21_X1 + PLACED ( 107540 148400 ) FS ;`
|
| and this is the output of the code
|
| net _000_
|
| ( 46930 141260 ) layerNum 2 metal1
|
| ( 46930 141120 ) layerNum 2 metal1
|
| ( 46740 141260 ) layerNum 2 metal1
|
| ( 51490 146580 ) layerNum 2 metal1
|
| ( 51490 146860 ) layerNum 2 metal1
|
| ( 51490 147140 ) layerNum 2 metal1
|
| ( 51490 147420 ) layerNum 2 metal1
|
| ( 50730 147420 ) layerNum 2 metal1
|
| ( 51870 147420 ) layerNum 2 metal1
|
| ( 51870 147700 ) layerNum 2 metal1
|
| ( 51870 147980 ) layerNum 2 metal1
|
| ( 51110 147420 ) layerNum 2 metal1
|
|
|
| So from what I see these coordinates can't be correct, any idea why is this happening? |
