Skill Code to copy metal layer and change layer

AnilKumar15
AnilKumar15 over 14 years ago

Hello ,

 I am looking for little help to write a skill code which will go into the library and open layout  and copy metal1 as metal2. Any help or directive will certainly help me.

 

Thanks,

Anil

    It seems a bit excessive to define a separate function for each layer. Also, your optional purpose argument is not used in the code!

    Probably simpler just to define your bindkeys directly:

    hiSetBindKey( "Layout" "ctrl<Key>KP_9" "geGetSelSet()~>lpp='(\"LB\" \"drawing\")")

    It's just a matter of escaping the embedded quotation marks. Of course, all the other bindkeys would be similar - I just picked one.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
