bloodwayn

Hello everybody,

i have a layout with a "text" layer1. in this layer are diffrent layers consist of metal1, metal2 and/or poly. now i generate with a function 4 rectangles(also text layer) for example which devide the layer1 into 4 parts.

now i would like to select all layers which are located in one of these parts. so i don't know how i can select a figure or shape or so, based on an specific area.

 hope anybody can help

  • Hi Philip,

    Select the objects, and then do Edit->Copy (or the "c" bindkey if you have the "default" bindkeys set up - you should see on the menu item what (if any) bindkey you have). Look at the prompts in the bottom of the source window. It will probably be prompting you for a reference point - and once you've clicked that you can then click in the destination window and it will copy there.

    Ah, perhaps you're asking for a SKILL function to do this. In which case:

    foreach(fig geGetSelSet()
      dbCopyFig(fig destCV)
    )

    If you have a source window id and destination window id, you could use:

    destCV=geGetEditCellView(destWinId)
    foreach(fig geGetSelSet(srcWinId)
      dbCopyFig(fig destCV)
    )

    Regards,

    Andrew.
