selecting single figures/objects...

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

thanking you in anticipation and sry for my bad english ;)

  •  HI Philip,

    If you also want the poly layer (or any crossing shape) to also be copied then you could use the Yank and Paste feature.  The Yank can "slice through" shapes cutting them off at the edge of the yank box, and then in a new cellview you would Paste the content of the Yank buffer, so using you example, you would get a bit of the poly layer plus the text box and anything else in the rectangular Yank box that you draw.  For precision you can start the Yank command (e.g. from the menu, in case you have infix turned on) and then you can type the coordinates into the CIW, e.g. 0:-7 and then 12:7 to specify the corners of the Yank box precisely, rather than trying to click on the exact coordinates in the layout window. Then use Paste in the new cellview in a similar way, start the Paste from the menu and specify the lower-left origin by typing the coordinate into the CIW.

    I hope that this is what you are looking for.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
