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,

    First of all, I can't see why leYankFigs would have a problem copying polygons with 5 points. I wondered whether you meant that the list of points argument you give has to have 4 points (I tried with 5 or 6 and that works). So I don't really understand the problem - perhaps you could give the exact error message.

    lePasteFigs allows you to specify an origin for the resulting paste, and provided you've specified a reference point in the leYankFigs call,  I don't see why you'd need to change the coordinates? 

    Anyway, changing the coordinates of a rectangle would be just a matter of modifying the ~>bBox of the rectangle.

    Best Regrds,

    Andrew.
