     Hi Ravi,

    I don't think that you can access the shapes hilighted by the Mark Net feature, it is a fairly low-level function (for speed) and has a limited SKILL interface. I believe that the shapes are highlighted but not selected, so accessing the shapes for input to a copy is not something that you can do directly with the Mark Net feature.

    It should be possible to write your own SKILL code to "walk" the shapes and follow connectivity and then select and copy them. This is not a 5-minute task, so it might be worth asking if anyone else out there has written such code that they can share.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
