Hmm, it seems to work without the "select top" command at the top. I just hope that it always works and that it doesn't randomly fail someday

I always use

select top cell

, not

select top

. Does that make any difference?

Yes, just doing a quick experiment,

select top

is actually attempting to select a layer called

top

and failing.

select top cell

is the command you want.

I still get "Crosshair not in a valid window for this command" with

select top cell

Are you running with

magic -dnull -noconsole

magic -dnull -noconsole -nowindow -T $tech $mag

How about if you start off with the command

box 0 0 0 0

Still an error

But it works without the select top cell command. I just hope the expand command always works and doesn't fail someday without the select top cell first

Tim Edwards

Okay, the correct fix is not to use the

-nowindow

option.

Yes, that works! Thanks a lot! 🙂
