quickplace by schematic page number

car(sym ->component ->functions) ->prop ->PHYS_PAGE

Where sym is the symbol dbid

Of course the preferred way to do this is to use Rooms.

thanks sir , i have try it  and cant get work , the code as follow

    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("noall" "symbols")   ?onButtons list("noall" "symbols"))
    allSymbols = axlGetSelSet(axlAddSelectAll())
    axlClearSelSet()
    symb = car(allSymbols) ;for test
    printf("%L IS PAGE \n" car(symb->component->functions)->prop->PHYS_PAGE)
      ; actually the first symbol refdes is db9 and in page 6, the result is nil

where goes wrong ? help me please

I think you should be looking at components instead of symbols, since some symbols will not have schematic information attached, please try the following:

axlClearSelSet()

(axlSetFindFilter ?enabled list("noall" "components" "invisible") ?onButtons list("noall" "components"))

axlAddSelectAll()

foreach(comp axlGetSelSet() axlMsgPut("redes %s page %s" comp->name car(comp->functions)->prop->PHYS_PAGE))

thanks sir, i have tried your code , it's all right except the PHYS_PAGE attribute,  it seem as no PHYS_PAGE attribute , the code as below, give me some advice more please.

defun( placeByPage ()
    let((pageTemp pageNumOfSymbol comp all_symbol)
    pageTemp='(caar(symbolEx) cdr(symbolEx)) ;place symbol from here to top
    axlClearSelSet()
    (axlSetFindFilter ?enabled list("noall" "components" "invisible")
        ?onButtons list("noall" "components"))
    all_symbol=axlGetSelSet(axlAddSelectAll())
    axlClearSelSet()
    foreach(comp all_symbol
        axlMsgPut(" page %L" car(comp->functions)->prop)   ; all right at here
        axlMsgPut(" page %L" car(comp->functions)->prop->PHYS_PAGE) ; is nil at here
        )
   ) )

does any other methods for place symbols to work zone by schematic page number? ,  or ,only scr macro to do this ?  Dave has suggested use rooms, but i havent the schematic file, it's difficult to do by that way.
