Moving/Rotating a placed shape later on

wakeup12
wakeup12 over 11 years ago

Hello,

 Assuming that we are using SKILL commands to draw several shapes. Is there any way to shift and/or rotate them?

 Currently, as we place the shapes (e.g. to form a transistor), all the shapes are independent of each other and  it is very hard to move/rotate them all together.

 It will be very nice to know if we can perform those actions as well.

 Thank you.

    If you want to move or rotate them, you can use dbMoveFig(). However, you'd need to figure out the right transformation.

    You might find the code in this post that I posted a few days ago. This allows you to flip or rotate around the centre (say) of a group of shapes etc.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
