Search,select and then make cell?

jazzmatazz
Hello guys ,

Here is my problem. I wanna  to do hierarchically search for cell with certain criterias then to select it/ 'em and to make new cell only with this cell/s ,but I know only how to achieve the first step. I use procedural function for hierarchically search

   leSearchHierarchy( cv,bbox ... etc. )

Which returned me a list of all objects that meet the object type and search criteria. That's OK but  then I don't  know how to use this answer and to make new cell with this objects?

Regards,
Jazzmatazz

    Are the shapes you're finding from down in the hierarchy, or in the top level? If they're in the toplevel (e.g. the hierarchy limit in leSearchHierarchy was set to 0), you should be able to pass the result directly as the first argument to leMakeCell(). If not, you can't really use the result of leSearchHierarchy because the result returns the shape in the child cellView, but with no information about its context - and so you can't transform it into the parent cellView before making a cell. 

    Perhaps you could clarify what your search criteria are for leSearchHierarchy so one of us could propose an alternative approach (if my first paragraph doesn't answer your question).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
