Batch Process to Rotate Border and View

Chuck,

These keyins will select the cell…

MDL SILENTLOAD SELECTBY DIALOG
SELECT TYPE NONE
SELECTBY TYPE CELL
SELECTBY CELLNAME <cellname>
SELECTBY EXECUTE

Determining the point to rotate about may be difficult If all the border cells have been placed with different origins. This example shows rotating about the element center/origin. Depending on the origin, this may or may not get you what you’re looking for. (XY=0,0 is simply issuing a data point to accept the rotation)

AA=180
ROTATE
SET ITEM TOOLSETTINGS ROTATEABOUTORIGINTOGGLE=1
XY=0,0

If you don’t want to rotate about the center or origin, and know the point you to rotate about you could do something like this, where XY= the point to rotate about.

AA=180
ROTATE
XY=17,11

These will rotate the view, fit, and save settings.

ROTATE VIEW RELATIVE 180
SELVIEW 1
FIT ALL
SELVIEW 1
FILEDESIGN

Hope that points you in the right direction.

Thanks Matt! That got me 99% there. The border does rotate but not in place which isn't that big of deal. You should present a webinar with GLBUG

I don't think you need to rotate your border , just rotate view 2 points to the lower longest edge of your border will rotate so the boreder looks right in the view with view rotated.... if they are all in same place then easy.. otherwise  make keyin to rotate view 2 points and do the two points by hand?
