how to set a bindkey to display multiple layers ?

The error I got is undefined function pteSetNoneVisible. I used this setup before and it is working fine. How can I define pteSetNoneVisible ? 

thanks 

Which version are you using? i.e. what does getVersion(t) in the CIW report?

I would have probably used leSetLayerVisible(list("M1" "drawing") t) or pteSetVisible("M1 drawing" t "Layers") rather than setting the entry layer repeatedly, but the fact that the function isn't defined suggests you must be using an old version?

HI Nhumai,

;Usage: Bindkey 0 makes all layer invisible except layer "ref" "drawing" in layout.
 hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>0" "visibility_0()")
 procedure(visibility_0()  
  leSetEntryLayer(list("ref" "drawing"))
  leSetAllLayerVisible( nil );
  leSetLayerVisible( list("ref" "drawing") t )  
  hiRedraw( )
  printf("\n All layers is set to invisible except ref layer. \n ")
 )

 ;Usage: Bindkey 1 makes layer METAL1, METAL2 and VIA2 drawing visible in layout.
 hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>1" "visibility_1()")
 procedure(visibility_1()
     leSetEntryLayer(list("METAL1" "drawing"))         
     leSetAllLayerVisible( nil )
     leSetLayerVisible( list("METAL1") t )
        leSetLayerVisible( list("METAL1" "drawing") t )
        leSetLayerVisible( list("METAL2" "drawing") t )
        leSetLayerVisible( list("VIA2" "drawing") t )           
     hiRedraw( )
     printf("\n METAL1, METAL2 VIA2 dawing is set to visible. \n ")
 )
    

I hope this help.

Hi Andrew,

when I type getVersion(t) in CIW it show "sub-version Ic6.1.5.500.10" . Let me try leSetLayerVisible(list(Mm1" "drawing") t) first and see if it is working 

thanks

Hi Andrew 

I have 

hiSetBindKeys( "Layout" list(

        list( "<key>4"  leSetLayerVisible(list("nwell" "drawing") t) hiRedraw())

)) ;; hiSetBindKeys

it is still doesn't work . It didn't give me any syntax error. It give me the warning  like  

"

*WARNING* key <key>4 non-EF argument must be type string, not symbol

*WARNING* key <key>4 EF argument must be type string, not symbol

"

Please let me know what happen 

thanks 

Nhumai 

PS. when I type getVersion(t) in CIW it show "sub-version Ic6.1.5.500.10"

Hi Marben,

It is working fine for me. Thanks a lot

Hi Marben,

I expand the script to this kind of set and still it is working fine.

thanks

Hi Nhumai,

The function pteSetVisible was added in IC616, so that's why that didn't work - you're using too old a version - even IC616 came out 5½ years ago, and the subversion you're using is even older.

The reason why the code above failed is because  you didn't put quotes around the command (should have been "leSetLayerVisible(list(\"nwell\" \"drawing\") t) hiRedraw()" )

Regards,

Andrew.
