Reselect Items

blankman

Hi all, is it possible in skill to create a reselect tool, that would reselect any preselected number of objects in the event of deselecting by mistake? For instance, when doing complex stretches that involve carefully selecting only certain objects, it can be quite cumbersome when one looses the selection and has to go to the trouble of reselecting everything again. Thanks,

Brian.

  • Hi Andrew, heres a first draft. It works fine, however I noticed when I execute the second reselect function (BSreselectSelSet2) it crashes Cadence if the stored selected set has changed (ie deleted an object or object point). So I'm trying to add a search function just before the geSelectFig and geSelectFigPoint functions to account for this. Im using...

     leSearchHierarchy(geGetEditCellView() geGetEditCellView()~>bBox 0 "any shape" list(obj))

    ...however am not having much luck with the syntax of the command. Wondering what would be the best way to search a cellview for objects and object points for this purpose?

    procedure(BSstoreSelSet2()
        partselobjlist2=nil
        partselobjpointlist2=nil
        fullselobjlist2=nil
        foreach(fig geGetSelSet()
            if(geIsObjectPartiallySelected(fig nil) == t
                then    partselobjlist2 = cons( fig partselobjlist2 )
                            partselobjpointlist2 = cons( geGetSelSetFigPoint(fig) partselobjpointlist2 )
                else    fullselobjlist2 = cons( fig fullselobjlist2 )
            );if
        );foreach
        printf("Selection Set 2 stored\n")
    );procedure
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl Shift<key>KP_Down" "BSstoreSelSet2()")


    procedure(BSreselectSelSet2()
        geDeselectAll()
        partselobjpointlist2destruct=partselobjpointlist2
        foreach(obj fullselobjlist2 geSelectFig(obj))
        foreach(obj partselobjlist2
            geSelectFigPoint(obj car(partselobjpointlist2destruct))
            partselobjpointlist2destruct=cdr(partselobjpointlist2destruct)
        );foreach
        printf("Selection Set 2 selected\n")
    );procedure
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<key>KP_Down" "BSreselectSelSet2()")
