How to select object based on shape

Please elaborate. It's hard to know what you mean from your question.

Hi Dave,

             Thanks for your response, I Want to select object based on static or dynamic shape covered area.

Please refer below image,

If I select VIN_5V shape it act as a selection boundary and able to select Symbols, Pins and Vias in that area.

Hi Bruekers,

                 "axlAddSelectPoly" this axl command is not available in Allegro17.2

Please advise any other command for this.

Please see my program below.

axlVisibleDesign(nil)
axlVisibleLayer(strcat("VIA CLASS/" axlConductorTopLayer()) t)
axlVisibleLayer("SUBSTRATE GEOMETRY/SOLDERMASK_TOP" t)
axlVisibleUpdate(t)

axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '("noall" "Shapes") ?onButtons '("noall" "Shapes"))
axlAddSelectAll()
shapeid = axlGetSelSet()
axlClearSelSet()

one = car(shapeid)

axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '("noall" "Fingers") ?onButtons '("noall" "Fingers"))
axlAddSelectBox(one->bBox)
l_sel = axlGetSelSet()
axlClearSelSet()

if any shape without finger how to eliminate that.

The axlAddSelectPoly() command is introduced in one of the latest hotfixes, in HF050 it is for sure available.

Hi Bruekers, could you show me where can I get the introduction about axlAddSelectPoly()? thank you. I am writing a code that should use this command.

More than this I dont know:

arglist('axlAddSelectPoly) -> (l_poly \@optional g_checkVoids (trapEnable 't) "ggg")
