Replace/change layers and its purpose in a bounding box

Hello Everyone...

I want to change all the layers of one type (i.e.- M1) in a bounding box (a defined area in layout with its coordinates) to other one (i.e.- M2) and also change the purpose of it (i.e.- drw to pin). How to do it? What are the functions defined for this task?

Regards,

Gaurc,

Use dbGetOverlaps to find the shapes in the region, or dbShapeQuery, and then use the approaches as outlined in this post from yesterday.

Regards,

Andrew.

Or you could use the Find/Replace functionality in the layout Editor (Tools->Find/Replace). This allows you to search in an area for shapes on a particular layer and change to another. No need for SKILL code.

I've given some suggestions in your other post. You could also use leSearchHierarchy() and (maybe) leReplace to do this. More info in the documentation, but to be honest, dbShapeQuery is quite a straightforward approach.

Andrew.
