Creating a magic ruler

Hi All!!! 1. i have always found it tedious to draw a ruler to double check layout parameters such as diff overlap past poly, when doing testchip layout. i want to design a code where when i run my cursor over or close to a side of an object (at the same level or at a lower hierarchy), the side gets highlighted. 2. after clicking, the coordinates of the side gets selected and when i do the same to a side of another object, a ruler is drawn from the first side to the second automatically. 3. this eliminates the need to zoom in and drag and draw a ruler. 4. i have used the gravity option, but i find it insufficient. please your advise and codes are most welcome, i am looking into dbgettrueoverlaps and other related skill functions. adhil

Hi Derek.. your code works fine for objects at the same hierarchy, but do you know of away to expand the code to to measure distances between objects at different hierarchys at the same cell view. Adhil.
