How to select shapes overlapped by a text or label ?

Marben

Hi All,

How to select shapes such as rectangle in the layout that is overlapped by a label name "vref_1 " or "vref_2" or" vref_3" ?,

by using SKILL and rexMatchp ?

Best regards,

Marben

  • I'd probably use pcre functions, but the principle is similar (you only need to use the rex functions if using IC5141):

    cv=geGetEditCellView()
    labelPat=pcreCompile("^vref_[123]$")
    foreach(shape cv~>shapes
      when(shape~>objType=="label" && pcreExecute(labelPat shape~>theLabel) ; could use rexMatchp here instead
        shapesUnderneath=dbGetTrueOverlaps(cv list(shape~>xy shape~>xy) t 0)
        foreach(under shapesUnderneath
          unless(under~>objType=="label"
            geSelectFig(under)
          )
        )
      )
    )

    Note the code above is completely untested - this is just to give you an idea.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
