Deleting Degassing Voids Using Skill - axlShapeEraseDegassingHole

AV202505198123

Hi,
I'm trying to delete degas voids that are auto generated by Shape Degassing tool in APD using Skill script, for which i'm using this function axlShapeEraseDegassingHole , the arguments required are shape dbid and location of the holes, 

parentShape = void->parent
eraseResult = axlShapeEraseDegassingHole(parentShape ?location location) 

but the result is always nil. can anyone give an example script to do this operation.

    Hi  , this SKILL API is for the Adv Degassing holes. If you are working on the regular degassing holes, try selecting them using SKILL selection commands.

    turn on only boundary from color/visibility

    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '("shapes") ?onButtons '("shapes"))
    axlSelect()
    shape=car(axlGetSelSet())
    void1=car(shape->voids)
    axlShapeDeleteVoids(void1)

    Hi  , Yes i'm using it to delete these Advanced degassing holes which were placed on the CONDUCOTR Class, using the shape degassing(image attached) tool, if i use axlShapeDeleteVoids() it gives out a warning(image attached). This will only work for Manually placed voids.

    Hi, Correct API Usage: The axlShapeEraseDegassingHole function is designed for advanced degassing holes, not regular ones. For regular degassing holes, the axlShapeDeleteVoids API should be used.

    Recommended Code:
    axlCmdRegister("del_degas" 'del)
    procedure(del()
    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '("shapes") ?onButtons '("shapes"))
    axlSelect()
    shape = car(axlGetSelSet())
    void_list = shape->voids
    axlShapeDeleteVoids(shape) ; Pass shape's boundary dbid

    run this code

    void_list = shape->voids

    ^

    *Error* lineread/read: syntax error encountered in input

    Thanks for pointing out  , there was a typo in my code, it should be void_list=shape->voids
