Deleting objects from layout using co-ordinates.

Hey,

I am an Intern and new at skill.

I know the layout can be edited using SKILL procedures.

Is there any procedure to delete certain elements using co-ordinates?

Any help is welcomed

    Hi,

    Not directly. You can find a "figure" (instance, shape, and other objects) using something like gePointToFig() or gePointQuery() [assuming that you are working graphically in a window], and then depending on whether you think you have the right object, delete it using dbDeleteObject().  If nongraphical, then you might need to use something like dbProduceOverlap() or dbProduceOverlapInst().

    Hope this helps you.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
