How to modify the Dielectric thickness?

ichliebedich

Hi all

I want to modify the my design thickness refer to the imported data

and I can modify the conductor layer with below code


xs = axlXSectionGet(nil "TOP")
lxc = axlXSectionModify(
?thickness 0.231

)

axlXSectionSet(xs lxc)

that case I already know unique conductor layer name

but Dielectric don't have unique name so I don't know how to recognize dielectric layer and modify the thickness..

    Something like this:

    xs = axlXSectionGet(nil "INT1")
    dielectric = axlXSectionGet(nil xs->position +1)
    ; modify some layer characturistics
    ds = axlXSectionModify(?thickness 10.0)
    ret = axlXSectionSet(dielectric ds)
