Hi,

It means that leEditorOptionsForm->leAltFoundryCG returns nil. The SKILL command leEditorOptionsForm->leAltFoundryCG->value=foundry is translated into this putprop command:

(getq leEditorOptionsForm leAltFoundryCG) foundry value
)
with putprop's first argument being (getq leEditorOptionsForm leAltFoundryCG) which - like I said above - is nil.

The correct way to do this is not to mess with the form, but instead to set the appropriate cdsenv variable:

envSetVal("cdba.layout" "AlternateFoundryCG" 'string "foundry")
