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.

    Hi Derek,

    This is a part of code used to change metal layers with bindkeys and with your help with foreach loop, it is in working mode.

    I am new to coding . Attached is the code . Further fix required is its considering first db id . Example if I selected M0 and M1 (in this order) and use down(), It won't change M1 to M0  (M0 is lowest layer)

    procedure(up()

    cv=geGetSelectedSet()
    let((ln1)
    temp=list(0)
    foreach(ln (cv~>layerName) 
    case(ln
    ("M0" ln1="M1")
    ("M1" ln1="M2")
    ("M2" println("Already top metal"))
    );case
    temp=cons(ln1 temp)
    );foreach
    a=cdr(reverse(temp))
    );let
    foreach((old new) cv a
    old~>layerName=new
    );foreach
    );procedure

    procedure(down()
    cv=geGetSelectedSet()
    let((ln1)
    temp=list(0)
    foreach(ln (cv~>layerName) 
    case(ln
    ("M1" ln1="M0")
    ("M2" ln1="M1")
    ("M0" println("Already bottom metal"))
    );case
    temp=cons(ln1 temp)
    );foreach
    a=cdr(reverse(temp))
    );let
    foreach((old new) cv a
    old~>layerName=new
    );foreach
    );procedure

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>5"  "up()")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>6"  "down()
