Non-rectilinear core area

Hello,

is it possible to somehow specify core-area that is non-rectilinear (e.g. as a group of polygons surrounding concave shape) ?

I understand that if doing "digital on top" FP where all the analog is a digital macro, this does not make sense. However, it may be usefull in case where "analog-on-top" is done, and digital may have some weird shape and is eventually placed as hard GDSII macro into analog-on-top design.

The simplest would be to make a rectangular block and add placement and routing blockages for the disallowed area

Thanks. Can I then do the add_pdn_ring around just the cut area (e.g. L-shape pdn-ring) ? Or is there some other trick how to achieve this ?
