Keyboard shortcut for running simulation in ADE GXL?

You could easily define one:

hiSetBindKey("adexl" "<Key>F5" "axlRunSimulation()")

hiSetBindKey("adegxl" "<Key>F5" "axlRunSimulation()")

hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>F5" "axlRunSimulation()")

For ADE L you can't have a bindkey for the ADE window itself, but for the schematic you could have a key bound to "(sevRunEngine sevSession(hiGetCurrentWindow()))" p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }

Hi Andrew,  Can you give the clear command how to set NetlistAndRun for the schematic window ? Your comment "have a key bound to "(sevRunEngine sevSession(hiGetCurrentWindow()))" p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }" confuse me a bit. 

Thanks !

The "p, li" bit is some strange formatting thing (related to HTML) which is coming from the forum migration. What I was suggesting was that you define a bindkey on the schematic (i.e. the schematic application) which calls:

sevRunEngine(sevSession(hiGetCurrentWindow()))

If you wanted netlist and run it would be:

sevNetlistAndRun(sevSession(hiGetCurrentWindow()))

By the way, you can define bindkeys for the ADE L window nowadays too - see How to define bindkeys for the ADE L window

Note the above commands are only for ADE L, not XL, Explorer or Assembler.

Andrew.

Hi Andrew, I use the following command as:

hiRegisterBindKeyPrefix("Schematics")
hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>F1" "sevNetlistAndRun(sevSession(hiGetCurrentWindow()))")

My idea is similar as bindkeys for ADEL. But not work. Can you correct my idea. 

Regards

You don't need to do the hiRegisterBindKeyPrefix - that's only a special case needed for the ADE window bindkeys.

The bindkey works for me - note that the schematic window needs to be associated with the ADE window (i.e. it needs to be the schematic window that you launched ADE from, or if you started ADE from a state, it would be the schematic window launched by using Session->Design Window.

When you say "But not work" - was there an error? For example, if I do it from a window which is not associated with ADE, then I get this in the CIW:

WARNING (ADE-1008): Cannot perform this operation because no design has been selected. Select a
design and try again.
*Error* putprop: first arg must be either symbol, list, defstruct or user type - ni

Hi Andrew,

As you comment, I remove the 1st sentence about prefix, use only : hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>F5" "sevNetlistAndRun(sevSession(hiGetCurrentWindow()))"). 

And I can ensure the schematic window is linked to ADE L . But when I use F5, nothing happen, even no warning pop-up. Do I use the command same as you ?

Regards

Well, that works for me. What happens if you do:

hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>F5" "println(987654321)")

Does it print the number in the CIW when you hit F5 in the schematic window?

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

    I think I find the reason why F5 not work. Because I also use F5 as bindkey for adexl. Seems there is contradiction between them. As soon as change it to another icon, sim runs well. 

    Thanks for your help !
