Deleting objects from layout using co-ordinates.

Arafat01

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

  • That is a more complex program, I don't have an example but it will work something like this:

    You will have to parse the data from the log file and turn it into something which is SKILL compliant. I would do that using Perl or some other language that is good at text processing. The output should be a SKILL compatible list. Input the list to create your SKILL point list.

    Next, you have to find the specific objects in the database, is the fill data on a layer/purpose pair that is unique? If not, how can you differentiate between drawn data and fill data, is the fill in a separate cell?

    Loop through the list of points. Use dbGetTrueOverlaps at each point and it will return the ID of the object. Then you can delete the object.

    In addition to the functions mentioned above, you will need to look up the following in the SKILL user manuals:

    foreach, infile, lineread, close
