Select objects in specific layer that intersect with objects in another layer

Hello,

 I would like to select all objects in LAYER1 which are touching objects in LAYER2.  Any ideas on how to do this with SKILL? 

 Thanks!

    IMHO, the simplest action - in the loop take need command (for example dbLayerAnd and etc.) and look at the result if result shape add initial shape to the specific list and result add to the delete list.

    For example:

     

    procedure(Test(pcCV "d")

       let( (l1_list l2_list toDelete needeedShapes tmpShape

            l1_list = setof(i pcCV->shapes i->layerNAme == LAYER1);

            l2_list = setof(i pcCV->shapes i->layerNAme == LAYER2);

            foreach(l1 l1_list

               foreach(l2  l2_list

                  tmpShape = dbLayerAndNot(pcCV LAYER1 l1 l2);

                  when

                    needeedShapes = cons(l1 needeedShapes);

                    toDelete = cons(tmpShape toDelete);

                   );

               );

            );

      foreach(s toDelete dbDeleteObkect(s));

       neededShapes

       )

    )
