delete-geometry command

Hi,

Does anyone know the command that can be used to delete something at a specified point?

For example, I have an error at 10,20.5 and I need to delete whatever layer the Layer-Toggle allows by picking at that point. Something like "Delete(10, 20.5)."

Where did the "error" come from?

Deleting a "point" in an analog layout is not usually a good idea.
Deleting a selected polygon is somewhat suspect. Drc Tools typically
flatten and otherwise manipulate the data they
use for generating commands.

But if you simply select the "something" at this point and examine it, this
will prove instructive.
You often need "play" with your selection parameters to select exactly what
you want.
(partial Select, pin & instance select) and play with the parameter that
lets you toggle through the
selections at a point. (By default the layout editor "decides" to toggleb
etween the top two in it's list and
does not cycle through the list.)

Also a few gotcha's are hard to select. (Try flattening a connection pCell
and selecting the strange "point" instance
at the pCell origon. ugly ... it can be done, but not with the Select menu
.... silly ... you need to area select it ... )

Note that this all applies to the layout editor. The schematic/symbol editor
is now a lot different.

YMMV

gePointToFig(
[ w_windowId ]
[ g_ignoreSelect ]
[ l_list ]
)
=> d_figure / nil

e.g.
dbDeleteObject( gePointToFig( window( 4 ) t 0.65:0.44 ) )
