Can we use interactive functions inside a procedure..?

IC Layout
Hi, All ! I am using cadence IC514 version... right now we don't have layoutXL feature in our company ... So for drawing gaurding I have written a code .. This code is working fine when it is loaded as it is. But when I place this code inside a procedure its not giving good results... I thought this is because of using interactive functions inside procedure ... If it is so, please someone guide me to do this kind of tasks.. I am attaching my code snippet below... ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;starts here;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ll = lowerLeft( css()~>bBox ) ur = upperRight( css()~>bBox ) llx = xCoord(ll) urx = xCoord(ur) X = urx-llx lly = yCoord( ll ) ury = yCoord( ur ) Y = ury - lly leHiCreateMPP() leRodMppForm->rodMPPTemplate->value = mpp leRodMppForm->pathJustify->value = "left" mouseAddPt() `(,(X/2.0) ,lly) mouseAddPt() `(,urx ,lly) mouseAddPt() `(,urx ,ury) mouseAddPt() `(,llx ,ury) mouseAddPt() `(,llx ,lly) mouseAddPt() `(,(X/2.0) ,lly) mouseApplyOrFinishPoint() hiiToggleEnterForm(leRodMppForm) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;end here;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Thanks in advance...

  • OK. I reformatted  your code so I could read it - it is completely scrambled above.

    Anyway, this code isn't inside a procedure, but I think the point is that you've written it as a set of function calls as you'd get in a replay file. When you execute some of these functions, they block until some interactive operation has occurred - and hence the subsequent statements in code won't work. It works if replayed as a replay file (e.g. using hiReplayFile() ), but that's not a very elegant solution.

    In this particular case, you'll probably be best using my Sourcelink Solution 11323850, which provides a function to draw an MPP using a named template. This can easily be used in procedural code.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  •  Thank you Mr. Andrew... It is working well.. Hats off to your ideas...
