Hi,

 I'm new to SKILL programming and I want to write a program that delete certain layer from certain library. For example, i want to delete all the metal1 object in all the cell in "a" library. Can someone please help me? below is part of my program:

 

procedure( delLayer( libName )
    count = 0
    lib = ddGetObj( libName)
   
        foreach( cell lib~>cells
        if( setof( the_view cell~>views the_view~>name == "layout") then
           
            cv = dbOpenCellViewByType( libName cell~>name "layout")
           
foreach(layer cv~>shapes~>layerName
                if( layer == "MET1" then
                   **** need help in this area ***

I've tried dbDeleteObject() but i just can't seems to get it right
                   
                    count++ );if
                    );foreach layer
                   
                    dbClose( cv)
        );foreach cell
        );if setof
);procedure
