  Hi jmhutchi,

  I interpret this to mean that you want a dialog box, with two dropdown menus. The first is populated with the layer/datatypes in the current layout, and the second is populated with the list of cells.

  If so, download and install TRT, then look at: TRT menu > Cells > Get PCell parameters. That script has a dialog box with two dropdowns. All that remains is to populate those dropdowns differently.

  To get a list of the layer/datatypes, use something like

  include RBA
  app = Application.instance
  mw = app.main_window
  lv = mw.current_view
  lv || raise("No view selected")
  ly = lv.active_cellview.layout
  li = ly.layer_indices
  layers = li.map { |i| ly.get_info(i) }
  puts layers
  

  To get a list of the cells beneath the current one in the current layout, use something like

  cells = []
  ci = ly.each_cell { |c| cells << c }
  puts cells
  

  Did this answer your question?
