Switching windows - Virtuoso

kashvi

 Is there any way to use bindkey for switching from one window to other.

For example,  If I want to select some layer in LSW I have to click on

lsw layer window and after selecting the particular layer again I need

to click on layout window.

 

I need to define a bindkey which toggles between lsw and layout window.

 

Thanks,

  •  This doesn't answer your question, but might help the actual problem. You can set bindkeys to select layers. I have these defined:

    (hiSetBindKey "Layout" "<Key>0"                 "(leSetEntryLayer (list \"POLY1\" \"drawing\"))")
    (hiSetBindKey "Layout" "<Key>1"                 "(leSetEntryLayer (list \"MET1\"  \"drawing\"))")
    (hiSetBindKey "Layout" "<Key>2"                 "(leSetEntryLayer (list \"MET2\"  \"drawing\"))")
    (hiSetBindKey "Layout" "<Key>3"                 "(leSetEntryLayer (list \"MET3\"  \"drawing\"))")
    (hiSetBindKey "Layout" "<Key>4"                 "(leSetEntryLayer (list \"MET4\"  \"drawing\"))")

    Obviously you'll still need to switch to the lsw to select non-interconnect layers, but the majority of drawing is probably one of the above (or similar). You can also use modifier keys (ctrl, shift) for other layers - I have Shift<Key>1 to select MET1 hole for example.
