Scripting example request
Hello,

I have a already drawn layout ,on of the layres is a set of boxs drawn one next to another.
I want to load this layout,and on that specific layer (with the bozs) select on box at a time and do a set of action on it (copy,paste,sizing,subtraction and corner rounding)
At the end i need to do this set of action on all the boxs drawn in that layer.

Hi Shirly,
The scripting feature is not a macro recorder - specifically it lacks "copy" and "paste", because the clipboard concept has been replaced by the ability to manipulate the objects of the database itself.
There is a lot of documentation and I'd suggest you start with an example similar to your application. A good starting point may be the anisotropic scaling script: http://www.klayout.de/useful_scripts.html#scale_anisotropic.lym. You'll also find the layer processing framework there which may also provide a way to solve your problem.
Regards,
Matthias
