     Hi,

     I was actually looking to merge the shapes (I have their dbid's in a list), but couldn't find leMergeShapes in help or in the skill forum. Can you please give me some details into how to use or get it ? I am using Allegro PCB Editor Design XL version 16.2. 

    My problem actually is to merge the dynamic shapes with a primary shape. I have the dbid's of all the shapes, but when I use a shape merge shapes command, it doesn't allow me to select a shape with dbid's. It only allows the pick option, and since I want to make a script of it, it really is not a good option.

    So if somebody can throw some light on it, than it would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.
