         axlDBDummyNet - retrieve dummy nets
  FUNCTION
         axlDBDummyNet (
               g_mode
         ) -> lo_dbid/nil
  SYNOPSIS
         This returns all dummy nets in design.
         Two courtesy options are provided which are:
          - 'pin for any dummy net that has a pin return the first pin of the 
             dummy net
          - 'shape for any dummy net that has a shape return the first shape of 
             the dummy net
 
         Typically each dummy net in design will only have a single pin
         or shape but this may not always be the case. Clines or vias cannot,
         by themselves exist on a dummy.
 
         Symbols (dra) do not have dummy nets
  NEEDS
         g_mode: 'pin - return list of 1st pins on dummy nets
                 'shape - return list of 1st shapes on dummy nets
  RETURNS
         t - success
         nil - failed due to incorrect arguments
  SEE ALSO
         axlIsDummyNet, axlDbidName
  EXAMPLES
         1) Print all 1st pins on dummy nets
             foreach( mapc x axlDBDummyNet('pin) printf("%s\n" axlDbidName(x)))
         2) Get all dummy nets on design
             p = axlDBDummyNet(nil)


  NAME
         axlDBTextBlockCreate - create a new text block
  SYNOPSIS
         axlDBTextBlockCreate(
                 x_blockTemplate
                 ?width  f_width

                 ?photoWidth f_photoWidth
         ) => x_textBlock/nil
 
  FUNCTION
         Creates a new block block from the template block number provided.
         By providing optional textblock charactistics
 
         You can get available text blocks by:
                 lst = axlGetParam("paramTextBlock")
                 
  NEEDS
         x_blockTemplate
         f_XXX values
  RETURNS
         x_textBlock     - new text block
         nil             - failed, Typically your exhausted the number block Allegro provides
                                 or one of the parameters is not the correct data type.
  SEE ALSO
         axlGetParam, axlSetParam, axlDBTextBlockCompact
  EXAMPLES
         - create a new text block based upon text block 1 but change width and height
                 blockNum = axlDBTextBlockCreate(1 ?width 15.0 ?height 16.0
