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,

    No, my point about looping over the shapes was to use something similar to /forums/p/17163/1223573.aspx#1223573 which I mentioned earlier. If you want to use all shapes, you could do:

    foreach(fig srcCV~>shapes
      dbCopyFig(fig destCV)
    )

    The code I gave in my last append should find the overall bounding box of the cellView, and then convert this to a list of four points representing the yank area. That should do what  you want, if I've understood you properly. No need to give yank points precisely following the outline of your shapes, as far as I can tell.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
