 Hi All ,

I want to use this command , the layout design hierarchy depth more than 32 , it's 50 , 

If i set 50 in ;x_nLevels , it will show 

*WARNING* noname :Illegal hierarchical level of 50 specified.

How to yank more than 50 nLevels?

 

 

leYankFigs

leYankFigs(
d_cellViewId
l_ptArray
50  ;;;x_nLevels   
[ l_refPt ]
[ x_nSides ]
)
=> t | nil
Thank you,
Charley

    Charley,

    If you need leYankFigs to cope with more than 32 levels of hierarchy, then you'll need to contact customer support to get it enhanced. There are probably quite a few places in Virtuoso that have a 32 level limit (I suspect the reason is to allow the code not to get stuck if you have an accidentally recursive design). 

    BTW, Lawrence, Yank does not flatten if you have whole instances - it only flattens if you yank an area which cuts through an instance's bBox. If it encloses a complete instance, it retains the instaance.

    That said, 50 does sound extraordinarily high! I've never seen anything with that level of hierarchy.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
