How to create a clone or synchronized group in layout

psill000

What skill functions/commands do I use to create a synchronized/clone figure group in layout?


Example of what I am looking for:

Have the orginal group and want to create the synchro group to coords xy

Do I use dbCreateFigGroup or another function?

What is the "ordered" parameter in the dbCreateFigGroup function?

    Paul,

    It's not as simple as that. There's an enhancement CCR, 1031076, asking for an API to create synchronous clones from SKILL. I suggest you contact customer support and request this so that a duplicate can be filed. There are a number of Clone SKILL functions, but not one for creating them (other than lxHiClone()).

    The ordered parameter means that the objects are always returned in the same order - i.e. the order is maintained.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
