    One example below. There are many of other possibilities.

    Regards

    M="M1"
    metals = list(list(M "drawing")
    (foreach mapcar nb linRg(1 9 1) list(M sprintf(nil "drawing%d" nb))))

    How about:

    allLPPs=foreach(mapcar lp techFile~>lps list(lp~>name lp~>purpose))
    drawPat=pcreCompile("^drawing")
    metals=setof(lpp allLPPs car(lpp)=="M1" && pcreExecute(drawPat cadr(lpp)))

    This will find all the purposes that begin with "drawing" for M1. You can change the pattern to suit your needs.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    You could also have a wider approach (any purpose) and then just check the validity:

    metals=setof(lpp allLPPs car(lpp)=="M1" && techIsLPValidBase(techGetLP(techFile lpp)))

    Ok, thanks Andrew, and how would I write this then for multiple metals, say M1 M2 & M3? Brian.

    ie when using the wider approach method

  • Andrew Beckett
    in reply to blankman

    metals=setof(lpp allLPPs member(car(lpp) list("M1" "M2" "M3")) && techIsLPValidBase(techGetLP(techFile lpp)))

    or:

    metalPat=pcreCompile("^M[1-3]$")
    metals=setof(lpp allLPPs pcreExecute(metalPat car(lpp)) && techIsLPValidBase(techGetLP(techFile lpp)))

    Or some combination of this and the earlier pattern-based purpose matching.

    Probably best to debug to see if your metals list has these purposes in or not? If using the SKILL IDE you could put a breakpoint after the metals variable has been set and then run the code and it will stop there, and then you could type "metals" (without the quotes) in the CIW to see what the variable contains? You might need to check whether techIsLPValidBase is returning t or not for that LPP. Not sure why it wouldn't given that I wouldn't expect it to appear in the palette otherwise.

    Àndrew, I notice it is stopping at "fill" on all layers

    To be honest, you could probably just do:

        metals = setof(lpp allLPPs member(car(lpp) list("M1" "M2")) )

    Don't bother with the valid check (if that is the problem - not sure why it would be, but worth trying).
