change selected layer

Hi vincent,

 You can direct change the layer attributes of selected object.

obj_id = car(geGetSelSet())

obj_id~>purpose = "B5"

Thanks andrew and kbhow.

so how about if i want to change the layer and the purpose at the same time? is it posible to do it? i have try out, i can't make it if want to do this two action at the same time.

Hi Vincent,

 To change the layer and layer purpose at the same time, u can do this.

obj_id~>lpps = list("M2" "net")

How

hi kbhow,

i try your advice, but it's didn't show any changes.

Hi Vincent,

It is my typo... the layer and purpose can be change easily by changing the object's lpp

FYI, you can view all the info of the object by using the tail operator. 

obj_id~>??

And to change the layer and purpose,

obj_id~>lpp = list("M2" "drawing")

will helps

How

Hi Vincent,

Your coding should not working cause it is not proper constructed. You may try this.

procedure( changePurpose( @optional (purpose "drawing"))

    let((selset)

        selset = geGetSelSet()

        foreach( sel selset

                sel~>lpps = list(sel~>layerName purpose)

        );foreach

    );let

);proc

;; Set bindkeys

hiSetBindKey( "Layout" "<Key>F1" "changePurpose()")      ;by default, it will change to drawing

hiSetBindkKey("Layout" Shift<Key>F1" "changePurpose("pin")")

You don't really need to do the foreach. You can just do:

  geGetSelSet()~>lpp='("newLayer" "newPurpose")

or:

  geGetSelSet()~>purpose="newPurpose"

if you just want to change the purpose.

How's code won't work because it uses sel~>lpps inside the foreach, and it should be sel~>lpp (the attribute is called lpp, not lpps)

Regards,

Andrew.

Thanks Adrew for the good catch. =D

thanks andrew and how for the help. :)
