A problem with context file

Renee over 14 years ago

I define a procedure to select design layer when I draw layout as below:

procedure(metal1()

leiMouseSetEntryLayer(6)

);end

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>1" "metal1()")

I save this file into context by:

setContext("current")

load "set_layer.il"

saveContext("set_layer.cxt")

Then, in the .cdsinit file, I write

loadContext("set_layer.cxt")

But when I start icfb and open a layout, I could not get the layer metal1 when I press <Key>1 button. I have to reload set_layer.il file and it says that those functions have been loaded.

Since it says so, it means that the context file is loaded. However, why can I use the bindkey?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think that the context saves the assignmentof the bindkey. It only saves the procedure and variable definitions. You may want to put the bindkey assignment in the context init procedure which runs when the context is loaded.
