Description

Creates a set of objects in the given area for the top cellview of the active window or the given window. Space-based Router finds the list of objects that meet the criteria determined by the routing object granularity (net, route or connected shapes). Active individual shapes in the given area are always included in the list. The -indices argument gives the index for each object in the list that you want to include in the new set. This command is used by the cycle select function.

-indices {i_index …}	Specifies the index numbers for the objects from the list to include in the new set.
-window_id i_windowID	Limits the search to objects in the top cellview of the specified window. If this argument is not given, the active window is used.

Value Returned

Returns the identifier for the new set.
