Hello,

I am trying to copy the layout from one cell view to other without pin and label. I have came across the command to delete the pin. Is their any skill command to delete labels from layout too?

    There was a bit of code posted earlier (which seems to have been removed), and I was going to suggest an improvement to it to avoid creating some unnecessary list cells (the original code had a foreach on the result fo a setof). You can just do:

    cv=geGetEditCellView()
    when(cv->cellViewType=="maskLayout"
      foreach(shape cv->shapes
        when(shape->objType=="label"

            dbDeleteObject(shape)
        )
      )
    )

    Regards,

    Andrew.
