Detected Layer-to-Layer Polygons that overlap

maxwellj

I was wondering if anyone has a routine that goes in and lists all polgyons that overlap each other on a layer to layer basis.  We've been directed to find a way to check all our layers 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, .... and note any voltage polygons that overlap each other and then give them a percentage of overlap for each shape.  It's overkill, but these people have no other work to do, so they make new work for us.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I modified the original script to use the 'released' skill functions:

    <   foreach(layer _fpDrawGetXSection()
    <     layerType = cadr(layer)
    ---
    >   foreach(layer axlXSectionGet(nil 'all)
    >     ;layerType = cadr(layer)
    >     layerType = layer->layerType
