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,

    Yes, that's incorrect. The second argument to the leYankFigs is a list of points for the yank shape. You've given a list of bBoxes, one for each shape in the cellView - that's not correct. 

    If you're copying all shapes in the cellView, I would probably have done it by looping over the shapes and using dbCopyFig, but otherwise you could use:

    bBox=CV~>bBox
    ll=lowerLeft(bBox)
    ur=upperRight(bBox)
    lpts=list(ll xCoord(ll):yCoord(ur) ur xCoord(ur):yCoord(ll))
    leYankFig(CV lpts 5 0:0)
    lePasteFig(DestCV 0:0)

    Passing the reference point in the leYankFigs (and giving the same reference point in the lePasteFigs) .

    BTW, the reason I wanted the full error (with the error code if any) was that this tends to reveal more. Also, knowing which version you had been using could have helped. In this case though, I'd have needed to know how bBox was being computed - and clearly it was wrong, as you've explained.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
