bindkeys in IC1.6.5

Andrew, I have banging my head trying to get my bind keys working again and I'm having a heck of a time! Our last project we used IC6.1.4. with the LSW and I created bindkeys to turn everything off and turn on a specific layers. i.e. CO, M1, M1 pin, Via1. Doing this would also turn off the schematic layers, so I added them as well. The format I used was: hiSetBindKeys( "Layout" list( list("Shift1" " leSetAllLayerVisible(nil) leiMouseSetEntryLayer(313) leiMouseSetEntryLayer(315) leiMouseSetEntryLayer(318) leiMouseSetEntryLayer(33) leiMouseSetEntryLayer(35) leiMouseSetEntryLayer(203) hiRedraw()") I didn't put all the entry's in, this is just a portion. Actually, I was hitting the 511 character limit. BUT, this would turn on M1, M1pin, Via1 and all the schematic layers ONLY and etc for Shft 2, 3, 4... I also had 1 turn on just M1, M1pin, Via1 etc for key 2,3,4. So if we had just M2 showing, we could also turn on M1 or M3. Our New project is now on IC6.1.5. and we have elected to go with the using the palette. Now using the same PDK 65nm process, the bindkeys work fine until we switch from "All Valid layers" to "All Used Layers" then things break and we can't get back unless we restart the tool. The bindkeys essentially turn other layers on and not the ones intended. So, I have been talking with other cadence employees and they gave me the ideas of the commands you listed above, but the tool just doesn't seem to except them. When I read in the bindkey.il file it gives my SYNTAX errors. I have tried exactly what you have stated above with no success. What I want use to be simple, not sure what the heck is going on by very frustrating. What we want is: shift 1 -> Turn everything off except CO, M1, M1pin, Via1 as well as leaving the schematic layers on and text. shift 2 -> Turn everything off except Via1, M2, M2pin, Via2 as well as leaving the schematic layers on and text. etc for 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 As well as have: 1 = Turn CO, M1, M1pin, Via1 on 2 = Turn Via1, M2, M2pin, Via2 on I hope this isn't to much to digest, but I have triied allot of different things and not getting no where. I'm not the savy on writing code and we have a very small CAD team. Thanks for any advice and info in advance..
