Moving instances using its bBox co-ordinates.

Bijaya

Hi guys,

I am trying to come up with a SKILL script to move selected instances from one area to another and align them with certain spacings. 

I came across SKILL command "leAlign" to align the instances however I need to specify the spacings unit at the toolbar which I don't want.

Using "xy" values seems to work in terms of moving the instances and possibly spacing them at a certain distance but I believe it will only work if all the selected instances are in the same orientation (e.g R0")

I am trying to find a command or ways to move the instances and align them with certain spacings using bBox value as a reference.

Any help will be appreciated.

  • You need to set the relevant cdsenv variables (Options->Cdsenv editor in IC6.1.8/ICADVM18.1/20.1 will help if you search for align; they're also documented):

    leSetEnv("alignApplySpacing" t)
    leSetEnv("alignSpacingValue" 0.2)
    leAlign("bottom")

    Is that what you want?
