Draw a Circle or Box in Layout

[hamidrezah]

Hi all,

I want to mark some thousands points on a layout whose coordinates are
known. So far, I used "leCreateRuler" to put a ruler between that
point and some nearby point. But the rulers are not nice and visible
when I zoom fit.

So I am thinking for draw a circle (filled) or a box (filled) with
some color (any color will do). The center is my point and the radios
can be any number. Is there a way to do it in SKILL?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Hrh

You could use geAddHilightCircle to do this - create a hilight set and then add
circles to it. This can be done without altering the database. You can also add
circles to the database using dbCreateEllipse - but probably you want the object
to be display only...
