About encounter DB command & its hidden option?

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Dear All:

I am a new comer here, I got two questions to ask:

1. Is there any db commands that can manipulate polygons, which means that I can cut a rectangular region or fence into polygon shaped?
2. Can anyone tell me some encounter hidden variables like "set drouteUseMinSpacingForBlockage true"

    Hello eminem,

    Welcome to the forum! Hope you find it useful.

    For item 1, you could use the "setObjFPlanBoxList" command to define a polygon shape for a fence. You can see this command echoed to your .cmd file if you define an object to have more than 4 sides with the "Cut Rectilinear" widget in the GUI. Here is some sample output:

    setObjFPlanBoxList Module {DTMF_INST/RESULTS_CONV_INST} 922.0200 673.6800 1151.7000 840.0000 922.0200 840.0000 1042.1400 905.5200

    For additional information, type:

    encounter> help setObjFPlanBoxList
    or
    encounter> man setObjFPlanBoxList

    Regarding hidden variables- maybe you could provide some additional information on what you're trying to achieve that isn't happening by default?

    Hope this helps,
    Bob
