axlPolyOptions

Hi.

I have some shapes that needed to be merged, so i was looking into axlPolyOptions. But no matter what i try, i can't get this working. Is there anyone who might have an "Not-from-the-help" demo of how to do this ?

Is it because my input are some closed shapes (eg should i use axlPolyOptions before axlCreateShape ?).

Try imagine an old :-) resistor having the house and 2 long legs. Now if i create a shape for each pin, one for each padstack and one for the house, then this gives 5 shapes. How to merge theseinto one shape ? And no this is not the task but an examble. The task is to do it automaticly in approx 1500 footprints in a library :-).

Sincerely

Klavs Rommedahl.

Klavs,
Get the polys of the shapes using axlPolyFromDB(shape_dbid) then use axlPolyOperations( poly1_dbid ploy2_dbid 'OR). It will be faster if you put all but 1 poly in a list and then PolyOp the single poly with the list of polys.
