snapping to edges when invoking an enterBox

Adhil

hey!!!

how can you make an enterBox cursor to snap to edges, i am trying to automatically place vias on an intersection after i draw an enterbox covering that intersection.

the script is working properly,however, it would be more convenient if the enterBox cursor could automatically snap to edges.

    It's probably a little bit late, but maybe it will help others:

    You have to give the enterBox function a cmdName and then use leRegisterUseGravity to enable gravity for this command.

    Example:

     enterBox(
          ?cmdName "mbMultiLayerRect"
          ?prompts list("Enter the first corner of your box."
                       "Enter the last corner of your box.")
          ?doneProc "boxDone"
          ?formProc "boxForm"
          ?alwaysMap t
          ?form eval(mbMultiLayerDrawForm)
          )

    leRegisterUseGravity("mbMultiLayerRect")
