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 ;)

    And you can use the leYangFigs or lePasteFigs SKILL functions to do the same thing.

    Otherwise you'd need to use things like dbLayerAnd to produce filtered versions of the shapes - but they only work on flat shapes. Yank and Paste will include any complete instance within the yank region, or will chop through the hierarchy (like a "cookie cutter").

    Regards,

    Andrew.
