changing layer names

deep242003

 Hi,

 I am new to this forum

I have

cv~>layerName = ("M1" "M2")  and temp = ("M2" "M1").

I want to change the layername as per temp.

cv~>layerName="M1" changes both layers to "M1".

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

  • This is a little odd. Typically "cv" is a variable used to refer to a cellView object which won't have a layerName attribute. Also, the layerName attribute is a string, not a list. What you are showing here seems to indicate that cv is a list of two shapes and temp is a list of the layerNames you want to assign to the two shapes. When you run cv~>layerName="M1", you are assigning "M1" to every object in the list stored in cv. So I can only guess that you either want to swap layerNames on two shapes, or, for some list of shapes you want to apply some list of layerNames. The following will work if the list of shapes is the same length as the list of layer names:

    ;I will use your same variable names although I suggest you use something other than cv for a list of shapes
    foreach((shape layName) cv temp
      shape~>layerName = layName
    )

    This foreach statement loops through two lists at the same time. Each time through the loop, an item from "cv" is assigned to the variable "shape" and a layer name from the list "temp" is assigned to the variable "layName".
