changing action of strokes

MOSFET
MOSFET over 16 years ago

I recently figured out how to enable strokes in Virtuoso, and was wondering if there is a Skill function that will descend into a block that a given set of coordinates is contained within?  I searched the Skill help manual for "descend", but couldn't find any functions that do what I am describing.  How can I descend into a block using a downward mouse stroke whose endpoint is inside the block?

 

Also, is it possible to define new strokes?

     You would need a series of commands to do what you want, one of the edit in place commands (possibly leHiEditInPlace) but first you must enter the last stroke point before executing the command:

    preXY( hiGetStrokeLastPt()) leHiEditInPlace()

     Look in dfII/etc/sted for more info on how to set up the procedures to be called by the strokes.

    The stroke editor - sted - is supported on Solaris but not on Linux in IC6.1. Start sted in a shell window to define your own strokes.
