Descending into a cell - skill function

swdesigner
swdesigner over 14 years ago

I currently bind my key to call schHiDescend, and work on the form.

 

Is there a way to bypass the form and call a function with the name of an instance in the current cellview to descend into it?

 

Thanks

    There is a selection filter in schematics for making the labels on a symbol unselectable. This is under the Options->Select Filter menu item at the bottom of the form. These settings can be saved in your .cdsenv.

    To make all instance objects unselectable, try this:
    envSetVal("schematic" "schematicSelectFilter" 'string "allSchObj")

    If you want instance pins selectable, try this:
    envSetVal("schematic" "schematicSelectFilter" 'string "allSchObj instancePins")

    This can be put in your .cdsenv like this:
    schematic       schematicSelectFilter   string  "allSchObj"
