how to turn on direct text editing mode etc

RoseRope over 9 years ago

Hi Guys,

I had two question about the setting for schematic editor:

1) I would like to turn on direct text editing mode by default, what should be the scripts to add into .cdsinit?

2) How can I turn on the function: selection of device/object immediately after I press the command, such as copy/move etc, with the mouse hover on top of the object/device?

My cadence version is IC6.1.6-64b.500.11.EHF1535.

Thanks,

Billy

To answer your questions:

I'm not sure what you mean. You can direct edit the text either by hitting the T bindkey or double clicking the left mouse button over the text - no need to "turn it on by default".

Do you mean infix? If so, it's:
envSetVal("ui" "infix" 'boolean t)

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

thanks so much for your quick reply!

1) for the direct editing, I used to do double click and edit the text, but it doesn't work in my current version, I'm not sure what's going on: if the EDA disable it or sth, that's why I want to know if there is any variable to control it. I prefer to double click way though. The T binkey also doesn't work here :(

2) that's what I want, thanks a lot!

Best Regards,

Yanjie

Hi Yanjie,

Bindkey T is set to schHiEditText() so you could add the following to your .cdsinit to restore that behavior:

hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "None<Key>t" "schHiEditText()")

For the double click binding you'd need:

hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "None<Btn1Down>(2)" "schHiDefaultAction()" )

The schHiDefaultAction is a function that does a sensible operation on various objects - and when double clicking on a wire label, it performs the direct text edit.

Regards,

Andrew.
