Is there a way to change the cordinate of highlight object?

JamesJames

Hi All, 

I created many hilight objects though "geAddHilight* function, and now I need to move it from the lower left corner of layout view to upper right. I've tried to change the "bBox" of hilight object parameters, which is a dpl, but it not works.

So I want to ask that is it a possible that not delete current objects but move them?

  • Here is my code:

    winNumber = 9
    win = window(winNumber)
    cellView = geGetWindowCellView(win)
    lpp = list("designFlow" "drawing7")
    lpp1 = list("designFlow" "drawing9")


    procedure(tt()
      let((tmpsetkkk)

          tmpset = geCreateHilightSet(cellView lpp nil)
          tmpset~>enable = t
          h1 = geAddHilightRectangle(tmpset list(150:200 300:300))
          h2 = geAddHilightCircle(tmpset 0:0 15)
          h3 = geAddHilightRectangle(tmpset list(-150:-150 -300:-300))
          h4 = geAddHilightCircle(tmpset -30:-80 15)

          tmpset1 = geCreateHilightSet(cellView lpp1 nil)
          tmpset1~>enable = t
          h5 = geAddHilightRectangle(tmpset1 list(-150:75 -300:300))
          h6 = geAddHilightCircle(tmpset1 -30:-80 15)
          h7 = geAddHilightRectangle(tmpset1 list(-30:-30 -55:-55))
          h8 = geAddHilightCircle(tmpset1 30:55 20)

          g1 = geCreateHilightGroup(tmpset list(h1 h2))
          g2 = geCreateHilightGroup(tmpset1 list(h5 h7))
          a = list(g1 g2)
      )
    )

    tt()

    I don't believe this is possible - I think you have to recreate the hilights - but I'm checking with the R&D team that supports this.

    Yes, I can confirm that you can't move hilights. The exception is that you can use geAddHilightFig which is tied to a particular figure - if that figure (i.e. a shape or an instance) then the hilight moves with it.
