Help on skill code for unselecting/selcting objects like path/wire, rectangle/polygon etc.

zeroskills

Hi All,

First of all, i have no talent doing skill code, i have very very basic knowledge of it. here's my request, and i think it's possible because if did some reseach on it, i just don't know how to do it.

Problem:

For example, i have a wire/path and a rectangle/polygon overlapping each other, i would like to select "only" the wire/path and not the rectangle/polygon. it would be nice if there's a skill code that can turn off or on wire/path or rectangle/polygon selection like the instance button on the LSW window.

So basically i would like to have something like the intance turning on or off selection, like this...

--->leSetObjectSelectable("inst" t) instance is selectable or

--->leSetObjectSelectable("inst" nil) instance is unselectable

But i would like something like this for other objects, like wire/path, rectabgle/polygon etc. not necessarily a button but i would like it to toggle, like "shift+w" to turn it on or off using if statements.

Thanks in advance, I hope someone could help me.

  • There are a couple of syntax issues in the code. To get it to work, you'll need to fix abShapeSelectionFilter.ils.

    abLeRegUserObjectSelectionFilter should be changed to leRegUserObjectSelectionFilter.

    Likewise:
    abLeUnregUserObjectSelectionFilter should be changed to leUnregUserObjectSelectionFilter AND the argument should be removed.

    Reload the modified abShapeSelectionFilter.ils file and it works like a charm. The leRegUserObjectSelectionFilter is really a pretty slick utility that I begged for from Cadence for years and was finally added in 5.1.41.

    Here is the adjusted code:

         if(!textOK || !shapesOK || !pathsOK then
      unless(registered
          registered=t
          leRegUserObjectSelectionFilter(
       "abShapeSelectionFilterFilter"
          )
      )
         else
      when(registered
          leUnregUserObjectSelectionFilter()
      )
      registered=nil
         ) ; if
