Descending into a cell - skill function

swdesigner

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

  • Hello Andrew,

             This still doesn't do it. I think what I need already exists.. but I don't know how to get my hands on it.. Let me explain..

     The code you provided gives me the view being used if I'm viewing a config. If not, pathVector doesn't exist. In that case what do I do?

    However, when I use the descend function (default bindkey is 'e'), Cadence already knows what order to give me the views in... if it's a config, it puts the view being used first in the drop-down menu for view.. If it's not a config, and a schematic view exists, it gives me that on top.

    So, the work is already done. How can I get "that" view (that Cadence puts at the top of the list when using the descend dialog) without using the form, through skill.

    Why do I want to bypass the form?

    Because there is a bug that causes a remnant of that form to remain after bindkey based interaction... some of the time.. and it's an annoyance...

    Thanks!
