Deleting ghost layer

dNora

 Hi,

I'm trying to delete ghost layers that exists in database but you can't select or view. I can get layers through

foreach(lpp cv~>lpps when(lpp~>purpose=="hv" printf("layer found %s %s\n" lpp~>layerName lpp~>purpose) ) )

dbDeleteObject complains it's invalid type, if I try to use ddDeleteObj then I get

 *Error* ddDeleteObj: argument #1 should be a ddUserType (type template = "b") - db:248248124

What other command can I use?

  • Not quite sure about the question. Maybe something like this script might help. This works on whole library, you could change it to be hierarchy.

    procedure(del_layer(libname layer)
    let((libId viewn cv )
    libId = ddGetObj(libname)
    viewn = "layout"
    ;;cv= geGetEditCellView()

     foreach(cell libId~>cells
       when(member(viewn cell~>views~>name)
          cv = dbOpenCellViewByType(libname cell~>name viewn nil "a")
          info(".. Processing %s\n" cv~>cellName)
                foreach(shape cv~>shapes
                when( (shape~>layerName == layer)
                                 dbDeleteObject(shape)
                      ) ;when
                      );foreach
                dbSave(cv)
         );when
      );foreach
     );let
    );procedure
