Cadence 5: Change path width with bindkey

frogconsultant
frogconsultant over 15 years ago

Without the possibility to change the default width to the correct value in the PDK, I am trying to develop a bindkey in cadence 5.1.41 which will do the trick.

hiSetBindkey("Layout" "<Key>F11" "leHiEditProp() width->value=130")

After selection of the path, I am hitting the "F11" I have the property form opening but the following is not interpreting. Does someone know how to affect the width after that?

Best regards

    It is generally recommended to use the create wire command to create so-called pathSegs (path segments) in 6.1.x. There are lots of advantages over paths. Check the docs for this.

    But anyway, there is an environment variable that you can set:

    Put this in your .cdsenv file:

    layout  pathWidth       float   0.5

    Hope this helps
