How to use axlDBCreateGroup and axlDBAddGroupObjects

Hi,

Can anyone explain how to use these function axlDBCreateGroup and axlDBAddGroupObjects with an example would be more helpful.

My intention is that the circularly placed vias has to make it as one group object and then needs to be rotated certain angle based on trace segment angle. 

Much appreciated your response!

Regards 

Rajagopal

    Hi Dave,

    Thank you for sharing the syntax and while running the code it shows the error message "*WARNING* (axlDBCreateGroup): ERROR(SPMHDB-246): Specified group name already in use". The group named as "GrpVias" and next when execute the code, this group name have been change to "GrpVias1,GrpVias2,,,". Is there any method to increment the group name by automatically?
    And using the axlTransformObject function, it spinning the objects by itself instead of moving from existing location to new location( need to rotate by myAngle) w.r.t origin "pinXY".

    Thanks,
    Rajagopal
