axlDynamicsObject and axlSetDynamicsMirror question

nightingale

 Hello ALL:

      I want to mirror geometry all the shapes and clines and lines in board file.so I used  axlDynamicsObject(axlGetSelSet(),'(0.0,0.0)) and axlSetDynamicsMirror('GEOMETRY).After I executed the code,the shapes and clines and lines all stick on the cursor,but can bot been location ,Could somebody kindly tell me how to place them?Thanks in advince!

  •  Thanks Dave!but what I want is mirror geometry, axlTransformObject :for mirror parameter,it only have two value:"t' or "nil",it is a pity it does not have "geometry" value.I try to use the axlTransformObject before,when I used axlTransformObject to mirror,for example:the shape on the top side,after used axlTransformObject,the shape mirror to the bottom side.what i want is the shape still on the top side,but mirror geometry.

  • OK. Try this workaround: Assuming the shape dbid is shpId... layer = shpId ->layer, axlTransformObject(shpId, ?mirror t), poly = car(axlPolyFromDB(shpId)) axlDeleteObject(shpId), axlDBCreateShape(poly, t, layer) Dave

  •  Dave,I think it is a good idea , when i debug the skill,there are unexpeced warnnings happen.I try the workaround like this,first I used axlDBGetShapes("BOUNDARY")to get shpId,the output message is "(dbid:143942704 dbid:143951360 dbid:143958096 dbid:143963672 dbid:143967120 dbid:143962416 dbid:143957072 dbid:143955040"

    when I try this "poly=car(axlPolyFromDB(shpId))",the warning appear "W- *WARNING* (axlPolyFromDB): Invalid database id argument - (dbid:143942704 dbid:143951360 dbid:143958096 dbid:143963672 dbid:143967120 dbid:143962416 dbid:143957072 dbid:143955040)
    nil"

    Dave,Could you kindly to tell me why ?Thanks in Advanced!

  • When you used axlDBGetShapes("BOUNDARY"), you retrieved all shapes on the BOUNDARY layer.  The command axlPolyFromDB only works on one shape dbid, but you are giving it a list of shape dbid's instead of just one.
