Hello. I'm learning SKILL. I have some examples, they help me for rapid learning. Studying SKILL is passed not without troubles. In SKILL we can ability to get accsess to propertes of instances or shapes or cells like that: 1) list_shapes=cv~>shapes 2) k=list_shapes~>layerName 3) if(car(list_shapes)~>objType=="polygon" then .... 4) width=car(list_shapes)~>width 5) if(instances_current~>xy ... 6) instances_current~>mosaic~>uX=instances_current~>mosaic~>uX*scale Do exsist manual or commands that allow to learn about all properties (words that positioned after symbol ~> in previous six examples )? I don't know what properties I can get of shapes or mosaic and instances. Best regards.

    This has come up several times in questions recently in this forum. 

    obj~>? will list all the available attributes on a database object, and obj~>?? will show a list of attribute names and values.

    You can read the <ICinstDir>/doc/skdfref/skdfref.pdf manual, which in cdnshelp can be found at SKILL/Virtuoso Design Environment SKILL Reference in the Database Access chapter. At the end of that chapter there is a "Attribute Retrieval and Modification" section which has tables of attributes for each object, detailing what they mean.

    Andrew.
