Existence of Layermap Purpose

Anfoni

Hi everyone,

Is there any way to check the ".layermap" file for the existence a specific layer purpose?

My goal is to check if given an input layer eg. M0 to check if the purpose "drawing" exists within the ".layermap" file, and if so, to color it with a specific coloring.

Is there a specific function that can first search through the ".layermap" and help me perform this check within my procedure?

Thank you so much!

  • Hi Everyone,

    I figured out how to do it, so I'll provide the solution here as a reference for anyone in the future.

    I used the functions as follows:

    tfId = techGetTechFile(ddGetObj("lib_techfile"))

    With the tfId now set I can simply iterate through the techfile's db object for the specific layers i'd like to check.

    layers = tfId~>layers
    foreach(layer layers
    lps = layer~>lps ;This is the layer purpose properties
    foreach( lp lps
    if(rexMatchp("specifc purpose" lp)
    colormarker = "exists"; marks for coloring in another procedure etc
    )
    )


    Hope this helped,

    Thanks!
