I am trying to extract the Area and PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX from symbols using the following code... I am recieving an error on s_prop... Can someone lend a hand...? max = "PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX"; ; Open each symbol by name ; axlOpenDesign(?design shapename ?mode "wf" ) axlClearSelSet() axlVisibleDesign(nil) axlVisibleLayer("PACKAGE GEOMETRY/PLACE_BOUND_TOP" t) axlSetFindFilter(?enabled "shapes" ?onButtons "shapes") axlAddSelectAll() lshape = axlGetSelSet() foreach(shape lshape proplist = shape->prop->?? if( proplist!=nil ;check to make sure there are attached properties. then foreach( prop proplist ;step through each property sprintf(s_prop "%s", prop) ; This format is incorrect... if( s_prop == max then max_height=car(prop->?) shp_area = shape->area );end if prop max );end foreach );end if );end foreach JMW

1) What is the error message on s_prop? 2) Have you isolated which line the error is occuring on? 3) Is "prop" evaluating to something other than a string? 4) The skill doc doesn't show the comma for the sprintf command syntax (but I don't think this is a problem).

foreach( prop_pair proplist prop_key = symbolToString( car( prop_pair)) prop_val = cadr( prop_pair) if( prop_key == "PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX" then the important thing to know here is properties are stored as key-value pairs within proplist AND the key isn't a STRING but rather a symbol so you need to convert it b4 doing the comparison.

several tips; 1) axlDBGetProperties(shape "allegro") will return a list of name value pairs instead of using shape->prop->?? - also allows for high-level property filtering 2) It is more efficient to compare symbols so either define PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX as a symbol or convert it to a symbol sym = makeSymbol("PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX") Alternatively a comparision using a symbol: if( prop_key == 'PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX 3) If you are just trying to get a single property value off a dbid then you can do value = shape->prop->PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX if property is not defined then the value is nil

Hi All, Thanks for the help... Here is a working update... Please provide any further feedback on ways to make this more efficient... JMW ; ; Open each symbol by name ; axlOpenDesign(?design shapename ?mode "wf" ) fprintf(outlog "%s read in for area/max_height extraction...\n" shapename) axlClearSelSet() axlVisibleDesign(nil) axlVisibleLayer("PACKAGE GEOMETRY/PLACE_BOUND_TOP" t) axlSetFindFilter(?enabled "shapes" ?onButtons "shapes") axlAddSelectAll() lshape = axlGetSelSet() foreach(shape lshape proplist=axlDBGetProperties(shape) if( proplist!=nil ;check to make sure there are attached properties. then foreach(prop_pair proplist ;step through each property prop_key=symbolToString(car(prop_pair)) prop_val=cadr(prop_pair) if(prop_key=="PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX" then max_height=atof(car(parseString(prop_val)))/1000 ;printf("%s\n" max_height) poly = car(axlPolyFromDB(shape)) shp_area = poly->area shp_area = shp_area/1000000 ;printf("%2.3f\n" shp_area) );end if prop max );end foreach );end if );end foreach curshapename = axlCurrentDesign() axlClearSelSet() axlVisibleDesign(nil) axlVisibleLayer("PIN/TOP" t) axlVisibleUpdate(t) axlSetFindFilter(?enabled "PINS" ?onButtons "PINS") axlAddSelectAll() pincnt = axlGetSelSetCount() fprintf(sepupdate "%s,%2.3f,%2.3f,%n\n" curshapename shp_area max_height pincnt) axlClearSelSet()

I am treating with the height property too, and I want to got the maximum height. See my question at next post~~
