 Hi all ?

   I want to get some parameters of a symbol as assembly, palcebound... and my symbol having a shape type "ETCH". I try to use sym->children and then  I got all symbol's parameter except for shape type "ETCH".  So I want to ask that how can I get that shape? 

Tks.

Luan.

    Hi Luan,

     You can access certain items using axlSetFindFilter and related functions.

    If the shape is connected to pin and on a net then try using axlDBGetConnect function.

     Hi Pawandeep !

      Thank for your reply but the symbol I have checked  is MECHANICAL SYMBOL, and it's "ETCH SHAPE"  is not connect to any pin. the shape's net is dummy net. If I get all shape and then I use foreach command to check each shape one by one  througt attribute shape->symbolEtch, I can do that, but It seem complex method, So I want to find it (Symbol Etch Shape) via symbols that I got in another code skill.

    Tks 

    Luan.
