IC20 Rulers/Measurement Question

B Power

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has a way of getting the current list of rulers/measurements drawn on a layout.

In IC20 when a drawn ruler/measurement is selected it appears that geGetSelSet()~>cellView gives a different db than the db of the shapes in the cellview.

Previously checking the markers in a cellview would list the ruler, but this appears not to be the case anymore.

Thanks for any help,

Regards,

Barry.

  • Hi Barry,

    Yes, you can access them as marker objects where the objType is "ruler":

    setof(obj geGetEditCellView()~>markers obj~>objType=="ruler")

    Hopefully this answers your question?

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.

    Hi Barry,

    There are two types of ruler (called "measurements" these days). What are called "Savable" measurements which are stored within the cellView, and non-savable (or transient) measurements which are saved in a temporary alternative cellView. By default the saveable measurements are orange, and the transient measurements are red. Lawrence's way will get all the saveable rulers; I don't think there's a way to get all the transient rulers though (which are stored in an in-memory scratch cellView, as you've found by selecting them).

    The type of measurement is indicated on the F3 options form when creating a measurement. This hasn't changed in many releases, so it's not just ICADVM20.1
