Automated Copy and Rotate

Marv Buzicky

I am looking for some skill code that can copy and rotate a polygon around X0Y0 (or a predetermined point I can select or plug in coordinates for), and be able to control how many degrees and how many times the copy takes place.

  • Hi Marv,

    You can use skill function dbCopyFig to perform copy operation with transformation (coordinate orientation magnification). This function manage to handle copy with rotation. By the way, its is not recommended to rotate the copied figure with any angle rather than orthogonal since this will cause issue during production or lithography process.

    I wrote a simple code for this, you can have a try:

     

    procedure( howCopy(dx dy @optional (orient "R0") (array 1) (cv geGetEditCellView()))

        let((x y arr)

            selset = geGetSelSet() ;Get selected set from cell view

            foreach( sel selset    ; Process each objects

                x = dx

                y = dy

               arr = array

               while( arr >=1

                    dbCopyFig(sel cv list(x:y orient))

                    x = x + dx

                    y = y + dy

                    arr--

                );while

            );foreach

        );let

    );procedure

     

    * Note: This script was written in a short time which is not tested. This is just a concept on how to copy object with orientation, you may modify the script to adapt to your needs.
