Bindkey for layers below mouse cursor

bdjones1

Hello,

At a previous company I had a bindkey (Shift+Home) that would display all layers below the mouse cursor.  This called a custom Skill function from the PDK, and I've been unable to replicate it or find a similar function.  Any suggestions on how to implement this?

Thanks!

Brian

    Hello Brian,

    In IC615 and IC616 exists an assistant (Window -> Assistants -> Dynamic Selection) which shows all shapes under cursor hierarchically in an assistant window..

    By typing ctrl <key> h you can freeze the display of the assistant window and select a shape there (if its in edit mode).

    Regards,

    Werner
