Store recall layout editor view positions

blankman

Hi all,

I am hoping to store and recall viewing positions in layout editor. I am taking the window bounding box from the layout view with geGetWindowBox(), which gives 2 coordinates. This stores the xy position and zoom level of the layout editor automatically. I am hoping to use these coordinates again to set the layout view position but can't locate a suitable command to do so. Is it possible? Something along the lines of geSetWindowBox() would sort it but doesn't seem to exist.

Thanks,
Brian.

     Perfect, thanks andrew. I had tried the boundp command alright, only I was missing the ' for the list. Sorted now. I'll make sure and use more suitable prefixes too, or local variables where possible, I have noticed sometimes programs affecting the operation of Cadence, this may well have been the reason :)
