Create bindkey for display levels

custom

I'm trying to create a bindkey for Display Levels Start and Stop.  For example: if I used the + key to view one level down. If I hit the + key again I would then be looking at 2 levels down. If I hit the - key, then I would be looking at 1 level down. If I hit the - key again I would be at the 0 level.  Does anyone have an idea on how to do this?

 thanks,

Mark

 

  • We have a routine that does this. You pass it an integer representing how much you want to change the depth. The bindkeys below use the +/- near the backspace. For the Keypad, you could use: <Key>KP_Add or <Key>KP_Subtract.

    procedure(myShowHierDepth( @optional (step 1))
        let((curstep)
          curstep = hiGetCurrentWindow()->stopLevel
          curstep = curstep + step
          cond(
              (curstep > 20 curstep=20)
              (curstep < 0  curstep=0 )
          )
          hiGetCurrentWindow()->stopLevel = curstep
        );let
    );procedure

    hiSetBindKey("Layout"         "<Key>=" "myShowHierDepth(1)")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout"        "<Key>-" "myShowHierDepth(-1)")

  • That worked perfectly.

    Great response time.

    Thanks Derek

    Hi,

    you can also do something like shown below so you dont need to load any skill routine. 

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>[" "hiGetCurrentWindow()->stopLevel = hiGetCurrentWindow()->stopLevel-1")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>]" "hiGetCurrentWindow()->stopLevel = hiGetCurrentWindow()->stopLevel+1")

     br,  rence
