Most efficient db function to move all shapes in a design?

jaleco

Working in ic5141, what is the most efficient way to move all shapes in a design using the db functions?

I'm dealing with millions of shapes and would like to use a function like Move Origin, but this is not a db function.

Is it more efficient to create a figure group, add each shape to the group and move the group, or to select and move each shape?

Neither seem like good options for a list of millions of shapes.

  • Thanks Lawrence.
    I am working on a mask reticle view with flat data and thought that working non-graphically with the Database Access functions would be more efficient than working in the layout editor. Non-graphically, I believe some of the functions are taking 15+ minutes to complete. lehiMoveOrigin() will certainly be convenient. I just don't know if working graphically is more efficient. For sure there are more graphics session functions.
