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
