Hi OkGuy,

To get the layer index by layer number and datatype number

lnum = ... # layer number
dtnum = ... # datatype number
ly = ... # layout

index = ly.layer_indices.find do |li| 
  info = ly.get_info(li)
  info.layer == lnum && info.datatype == dtnum 
end

Or by name:

name = ... # layer name
ly = ... # layout

index = ly.layer_indices.find do |li| 
  ly.get_info(li).name == name
end
