how to select all the layers in a window and merge the layers

Hi

There is a layout window suppose.

Selecting all the layers,where we will use "ctrl+A" and merge it.

I want skill code for this.

Thanks and regards

 dbLayerOr takes a list of database ID's and merges them without affecting the original data objects. We had a discussion on finding the shapes on a layer in a previous post:

myLPP = setof( lpp cvId~>lpps lpp~>layerName == "myMetal")

myLppShapes = myLPP~>shapes

dbLayerOr( cvId  list( "myMergedMetal" "drawing") myLppShapes))

You would then delete the original objects. If you wanted to merge through the hierarchy, you would use dbGetOvelaps on the bounding box and transform any object which is at a lower level of hierarchy. Here the use of a scratch cell or the dbPointArrayOr commands may be useful.

The layer Booleans and the Point Array functions are defined in the Virutoso Design Environment SKILL Reference.

Hi,

If you are interested in performing layer operations through the hierarchy, there is a SourceLink solution solution that can do this through a form-driven interface that is similar to the built-in Create -> Layer Generation menu (it is Tools -> Layer Generation in IC61x).

SourceLink Solution 11237840

You could adapt this SKILL code if you did not want to use a form in your flow.
