Descending into a group from figure coordinates in layout

frankliu
frankliu over 9 years ago

I have groups (figure groups) within groups ..., i.e. nested groups.

From the toplevel of the hierarchy, I would like to descend to the geometry under point.

Given that I cannot select the geometry at toplevel because it is deeply nested in other groups, what is a good way of getting to it.

Yes, it is possible that the geometry at point may be overlapping other geometry in the same layer, in which case I would like to have all the possible choices under point.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Paul

    I noticed that

    grp~>figs

    returns a list of lists for me, I used (car grp~>figs) for now, and it does the job, but I was wondering if I am missing something, what does each list in figs represent?
