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.

  • Thanks Andrew for your patience! Now it is really working for me!

    i was reading it but not sure what to do with it, so you previous reply was really helpful. i did this:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>7" "abShapeSelectionSetFilter(?togglePath t)")

    and it does toggle the wire selectable/unslectable. also added this:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>8" "abShapeSelectionSetFilter(?togglePolygon t)")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>9" "abShapeSelectionSetFilter(?toggleText t)")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>0" "abShapeSelectionSetFilter(?toggleText t ?togglePolygon t ?togglePath t)")

    so the polygon and text are toggleing the same as the wire, so i get it now. then i tried what if i did the selectable/unselectable for wire,polygon, text? so i did the last one...

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>0" "abShapeSelectionSetFilter(?toggleText t ?togglePolygon t ?togglePath t)")

    it does toggle from selectable/unselectable, but the only thing different is, when i want everything selectable, it doesn't "reset" the current state of the wire,polygon,text. for example,

    wire=unselectable, polygon=selectable, text=selectable

    when i tried this: hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>0" "abShapeSelectionSetFilter(?toggleText t ?togglePolygon t ?togglePath t)")

    wire=selectable, polygon=unselectable, text=unselectable

    could there be a separate code to do  selectable all and unselectable all? please correct me again if in the notes.

     

    But Thanks! The code really really works 100%! Thanks you very much, I hope you'll me again on my next request.
