    I just tried the code above, and it worked for me. I have a technology where the layers are called M1, M2 etc - you'd obviously have to change the layer names in the code if they're called something different.

    Then I opened the top level layout, and used:

    CCFreplaceLayersHier(geGetEditCellView())

    Note however that the code won't replace M1 used in MPP (multi-part path) or in vias, or inside PCells. Of course, I have no idea what the extent of what you're trying to do is...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
