How to Toggle Metal Layer Visibility Sequentially with Bindkeys?

SS202502085313

I require a script that allows toggling the visibility of multiple metal layers (from M1 to M10) without disabling the visibility of previously activated layers. For example, pressing the '1' bindkey should toggle the visibility of the M1 metal layer, while maintaining the visibility of any other active layers. Similarly, pressing the '2' bindkey should toggle the M2 metal layer, again without affecting the visibility of M1 or any other layers. When the same bindkey is pressed again, only the corresponding layer (e.g., M2 for '2') should be hidden, while all other layers remain unaffected.

  • You can use this code and call CCFsetToggleVisBindkeys(10) to set the bind keys:

    procedure(CCFtoggleVis(layerName @optional (purpose "drawing"))
  let(((lpp strcat(layerName " " purpose)))
    pteSetVisible(lpp !pteIsVisible(lpp))
  )
)

procedure(CCFsetToggleVisBindkeys(maxIndex @optional (prefix "M"))
  for(ind 1 maxIndex
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" 
      ; modulus allows 0 key to toggle M10; beyond that
      ; doesn't make sense as would overwrite the earlier layers
      lsprintf("<Key>%d" mod(ind 10))
      lsprintf("CCFtoggleVis(\"%s%d\")" prefix ind)
    )
  )
)
