I want the layout view to be automatically displayed on the left.

Daeho

Good morning. Nice to meet you. First of all, please understand that I used a translator because I am not good at English. My question is, when using Layout XL, what should I do if I want the Layout view to open automatically on the left and the Schematic view to open automatically on the right?

  • The default behaviour is to auto-arrange based on the screen size, but I think that the layoutXL autoArrange cdsenv var is the only control for automatic control based on the screen size (it's either t or nil). You can however set specific vars to do this. This SKILL may be useful as it computes them based on the screen size, so you'd put this in your .cdsinit (or load it from your .cdsinit) and then call CCFarrangeXLWindows():

    procedure(CCFarrangeXLWindows(@optional (minY 70))
  destructuringBind((width height) hiGetMaxScreenCoords()
    envSetVal("layoutXL" "layoutWindow" 'string
      lsprintf("((0 %d) (%d %d))" minY width/2 height)
    )
    envSetVal("layoutXL" "schematicWindow" 'string
      lsprintf("((%d %d) (%d %d))" width/2 height/4 width height)
    )
    envSetVal("layoutXL" "ciwWindow" 'string
      lsprintf("((%d %d) (%d %d))" width/2 minY width height/4)
    )
))

    Hi andrew
    Thanks to what you said, I modified the cdsenv file and proceeded. I will study more about the additional skill you gave me in the future. Thank you very much. Have a nice day
