Options/Display - Shape information

Liahuro
Hi Cadence Community, I have my first question in this forum. In IC5.1 there was an option to display shape information in the corner of the screen. This is a "Shape information" check-box. When we move cursor touch any object then at the corner of current window will show all information of shape as : Layer-Shape(rectangle, polygon,..) How can I make this thing with skill code? Please help me know. Thanks, Q

    Hi Liahuro,

    In order to implement something like this in SKILL you would need a triggering event, something like onMouseOver - but this does not exist in SKILL to my knowledge.  The best I think that you could do is to create a bindkey (a mouse click or key combination) and then use the mouse location to gather information about what's at the cursor.  The function hiGetCommandPoint() could be useful, as might gePointQuery().  With a coordinate point you might use something like dbGetOverlaps() or dbGetTrueOverlaps() to find what shapes are under that point.

    Hopefully this will help you.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
