Select all rods in the layout

marcop

 Hi all,

I'm a beginner of using ROD object and in the layout I need to select all shapes that have rodName!=nil. For example, if there are 20 active rects but only 5 are defined as ROD, I would like to obtain a list with 5 rod elements.

I know that with rodGetObj it is possible to select a ROD, but the problem is that I don't know the rod name.

Moreover, from rod object there is the link to shape (rod~>dbId). Is there also the opposite (that is shape~>rodId)?

 

Thanks and regards,

Marco

  • Here is one way you can do it:

    rodDbs = setof(x geGetEditCellView()~>shapes rodGetObj(x))
    rods = mapcar('rodGetObj rodDbs)
    rodNames = rods~>name

  • Hi Marco,

    There is a built in function to get the ROD shapes directly, rodGetNamedShapes, here's an example:

    
  cv = geGetEditCellView()
  rodIds = rodGetNamedShapes(cv)
  ;; if you want to select these shapes, try something like this
  mapcar('geSelectObject rodIds~>dbId)

    As Derek mentioned, you can use the function rodGetObject() to find the rodId from a database object id.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
