Change purpose of the layer and replace it with other one

I want to change the purpose (i.e.-  drw/txt/lbl/pin) of the layer and replace one layer with other (i.e.-  M2 to M3 ) one using SKILL, how to do it? Are there functions defined for it?

    Hi Chandan,

    To give just an idea.

    ;;If you want to change metal layer to another

    Obj~>layerName = toNewLayer ;(must be string type)

     

    ;;to change purpose

    Obj~>purpose = toNewPin ;(must be string type)

     

    ;;to change Layer Purpose Pair

    Obj~>lpp = toNewLPP ;(must be a list type, ex (“metal2” “pin”)

     

    Where obj is a db object of the selected layer you want to change.

    sample code:

    procedure( changeMetalLayer( lyrName )
         let( (objList)
                objList = geGetSelectedSet( geGetEditCellView() )
                objList~>layerName = lyrName
         );let
    );proc

    if I want to change all selected metals to metal2, i call the procedure; changeMetalLayer( "metal2").

    regards,

    Ferdz
