How to edit schBindKeys.il file to highlight wire

jlbach

Hello, 

 I know in cadence if you press 9 or 0 one can highlight a wire or not highlight that wire respectively. The skill code I used was geAddNetProbe and geDeleteNetProbe. But why candence only highlight the wire label with colors, not the wire itself. 

How can I make the whole wire to be highlighted in colors.

 

Thank you

    Hi jlbach

    geAddNetProbe seems to be working fine for me. Both wire and label are highlighted. I am using IC614-507. You can check the version of Virtuoso using:

    terminal>virtuoso -W

    Perhaps you might want to provide more info on your issue.

    Best regards

     Hi,

     I have a related problem. I can highlight wires by pressing 9 and the click on them but I cannot unhighlight them. 0 doesn't work for me. Do you know, why that could be?

    Hi Bene,

    The "9" bindkey is defined by default in the schematic bindkeys file, but I don't think that "0" is; however you can add it easily using the Options -> Bindkey form (Set the Application to "Schematics", Enter "0" for the Key or Mouse Binding and "geDeleteNetProbe()" for the Command) from the CIW, or using SKILL:

     hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>0" "geDeleteNetProbe()")

    As to the previous issue of not highlighting the netbut only the label, I do not see this issue either.  Perhaps a Service Request could be filed for further investigation?

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.

    Hi Lawrence

    I have a related problem. How to set Bindkey to unhighlight all the highlighted Nets? I have a try to set hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>!" "geAllDeleteNetProbe()")  or hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>!" "geDeleteAllNetProbe()"), but failed. PLS help me. Thanks

    Best regards,

    Hi Jim,

    The bindkey setting needs to be made a little differently:

    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "Shift<Key>1" "geDeleteAllNetProbe()")

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
