Try to load specific lsw file

FabienG

 

I would like to load specific lsw file. I have no problem with the pop-up form but

when I try to load the lsw file chosen, I have this error :

  *Error* leSetLayerAttributes: invalid techFileId - (db:0x0fa3f892 (("WG" "drawing") t t t)

But when I tape the command in the icfb window, there is no problem.

This command must be loaded by libInit.il file

load(strcat(getShellEnvVar("DK_INSTALLATION") "/dfII/Techno1.lsw"))

 

Do you know why this command works in icfb form and doens't in libInit.il file ?

    Assuming by "load specific lsw file" you mean doing the equivalent of Edit->Load (from file) in the LSW but at startup, then it's as follows:

    1. If you have a file created via the Edit->Save (set to to File) to save the LSW settings, edit it so that
       just before the line that says:

            leSetInstSelectable(t tech)
            leSetPinSelectable(t tech)
            leSetLayerAttributes(tech
    ...

       you add a line:
            leInitLayerWindow(tech)

       This is to ensure that the LSW is initialized before you set any of the attributes.

    2. Then all you need to do is add:
            load("/path/to/your/saved/file.il")
       in your .cdsinit or libInit.il

  •  thanks you for your answer.

    I have tried your solution but that's doesn't work. Nothing happen ...

    Actually, I have founded another way to reach what I want : 

    I created another file with like this one above and I load it via the libInit.il file : 


    tfID = techOpenTechFile("DK_lib" "tech.db" "r")
    techSetLeLswLayers( tfID list(    list("NPLUS1" "drawing")
                    list("PPLUS1" "drawing")
                    list("NPLUS2" "drawing")
                    list("PPLUS2" "drawing")
                    list("NPLUS3" "drawing")
                    list("PPLUS3" "drawing")
    ....

    ); end  techSetLeLswLayers
