Failed to open the create path form

Renee
Renee over 15 years ago

Hi,

 When I use the leHiCreatePath() function, I try to open the create path form and draw a path, however, it fails to open. Still I can draw the path, but I can not use the layer-changing and adding contacts functions.

I do not know what is wrong with the Virtuoso.

Thanks.

Lei

    Hi Lei,

    What version are you using? (Look at Help->About in the CIW and post that).

    Knowing this kind of information really helps. I suspect I can tell you the answer, but it would be based on a guess of which version you're using - so I'd sooner know that so I can give a more focussed answer.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    The version number is : 5.10.41-USR5.90.69

    Actually, it is werid that I start icfb& in the path I install NCSU CDK(ncsu-cdk-1[1].5.1.tar.gz), I can see the path form prompt out. However, in other path, I can not see that form when I create path .

    Thanks.

    OK, you weren't using the version that I had the good explanation for - so just as well I didn't confuse you with that!

    I don't quite understand what you mean by "I can see the path form prompt out" (it doesn't make sense). 

    I'm wondering if it's just a matter of the create path options form being hidden by default? You can hit the F3 key to make it appear, or you can use the Options->User Preferences form and then check the "Options Displayed when Commands Start" checkbox.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
