how to define a hot key to remove all probes in a schematic

enzhu

Hi, 

All of you might use probes in schematic viewing. Along the way, you add more and more probes (by doing 9 and select nets). At some point you might want to remove all probes and start over by I would like to know a way to make a hot key to remove all the probes (highlights) in a schematic by Create-> Probe--> Remove All. It is pretty painful to go through this again and again. 

Could anyone provide a short cut key to do this? 

Thanks.

    The function you need is geDeleteAllProbe() - so you can either add this via the Options->Bindkeys UI in the CIW, or add something like this in your .cdsinit :

    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>(" "geDeleteAllProbe()")

    I picked open parenthesis because it's shift-9 on my keyboard, which is the bindkey (by default) for adding a probe so it seemed a natural place to put it.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
