Boolean Commands with 3 or More Layers

noSKILL

IC5.1.414

Trying to run the dbLayerAnd() command, but I need to do it with 3 layers.  I'll also need to be doing some other boolean commands on 3+ layers too (AndNot on 2 layers, And on a 3rd, etc)

The problem is I don't want to create a new dummy lpp for each pair of commands, since I will be doing this many many times.

I searched, and in later versions there is a command dbPointArrayAnd() which is exactly what I am looking for, but it does not exist in IC5141.

Any suggestions on how to do this?  I'm not strong in coding so I'm not sure how I can get the dbLayerAnd() command to write its data to a list or non-layout layer.

Thanks

  • Thanks for the quick reply.

    Perhaps my procedure for creating the temporary layer is horrifically complicated?

    Right now I am going into my tech file manager and creating a new layer and assigning it all the regular assortment of goodies.  Then referencing it in the code.

    Is there a better way to do this?
