changing layers in skill???

archive

I'm trying to change the layer (tx_layer) of a db object with skill.  For example, let's say I have an object that is simply a rectangle of M1.  Is there a way to change that object to be the same size rect, but of M1?  I'm looking through the documentation, but I don't see any functions that allow you do to this.

  • Presumably cvid in your case was not a CellView Id (as the variable name suggests) but the db object representing the shape you want to modify?

    If so, you could have done this with:

    shape~>layerName="M2"

    which is the same as doing:

    dbSetq(shape "M2" layerName)

    Using dbSet allows the attribute name (the third argument) to be an expression - in this case the string is converted to a symbol automatically.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
