Need function to find the parameter names on objects in layout: ASAP

boomme

I am needing to manipulate the property parameters on various objects...

for example... I wish make a bind key toggle to change the MPT coloring on a Layer 2 metal layer on a Via cell

the via proper gui list lists it under a MPT coloring heading - Layer1 

but I need the actual name for that field so I can reassign the value to mask1Color or mask2Color

as in the value similar to the "cutHeight" value assignment here ... via~>cutHeight = Xhigh

I know there has to be a SKILL command for this retrieving the variable names for parameter fields for objects, but I can't seem to locate it in the various cadence documentations.

After searching this site, I tried the axlDBGetProperties command, but that does not seem to work for this purpose... in fact I  get an undefined function when attempting to use this command.

FYI, I am using cadence version ICADV 12.2-64b.78.EHF2165

.. I need a response as soon as possible if you have an answer to this. Thanks much for any help.

    I'm sure you can get access to support even if you get somebody in the company you're contracting to to log the case.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
