How to obtain path of an instance that is selected

Peach99

Hello I have a new problem!! I want to use the "OP" - function of the calculator in skill! When I want to use this function I need the path of the instance that is selected (example: OP("I1/I3/M5" , "vds") !!!! "I1/I3/M5" is the path!! When I have selected the instance M5 and I execute this function: geGetInstHier( getCurrentWindow() ) I only get the result: "I1/I3". By now I couldn't find out how I can get this path! Is there an another function or way to get this result? Please help me and please give me no source link, because I can't register me at the moment (I have no HostID at the moment, but I get it next week)! 

Regards

  • You will need to add the final instance to the path yourself. The geGetInstHier only returns the path to where you are in the hierarchy. You can then concatenate the name of the selected instance onto the path.

    curPath = geGetInstHier(getCurrentWindow())
    inst = car(geGetSelSet())
    fullPath = strcat(curPath "/" inst~>name)
    or
    sprintf(fullPath "%s/%s" curPath inst~>name)
