leCreatePath help

Jameneo

 Hi, I'm new to SKILL language.I'm trying to use leCreatePath to draw a layer. First, I type

leCreatePath( geGetEditCellView() list("PO") list(0:0 10:10 10:0) 5)  ==> It works.

Then I tried

leCreatePath( geGetEditCellView() "dummy1" list("PO") list(0:0 10:10 10:0) 5)  ==> It doesn't work and show an error:

Message: *Error* leCreatePath: argument #4 should be a number (type template = "dglntnt") at line 300 of file "*ciwInPort*"

Please explain to me why i got the error when i use layerPurposePair. Thanks

    The second fails because you have passed "dummy1" and then list("PO"). If "dummy1" is the layer name, you shouldn't pass list("PO") as well. Because of that, there's an argument mismatch and you've passed 5 args instead of 4.

    Hope that helps,

    Andrew
