Skill to turn off ruler selection in Cadence 6.1 layout

LongTimeNovice

Hello.

 I'm trying to write some Skill code that will turn off ruler selection in Virtuoso 6.1 layout.

 When I do it manually, this appears in my CDS.log file:

 _pteHiGuidePropagateSelectability(dwindow('pteGuidePalette3) "Rulers" nil)

 pteGuidePalette3 is specific to the window in which I run the command.  It won't work in any other window, for instance pteGuidePalette10.

 Is there a way to use the command such that it will turn off ruler selection in all windows?  Is there a different command to do this?  Otherwise, is there a command that will determine the palette number of a given window?

 Thank you!

Steven.

  • Stephen,

    Loading this from the .cdsinit won't work as is, because it only affects an existing palette. You could use something like this which fires any time you open a layout window (that might be annoying, because it will keep resetting it - so you might need to set flags to only do it once, maybe):

     procedure(MyPostInstallTrigger(args)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Boundaries" t)
        leSetObjectSelectable("P&R" t)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Area" t)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Snap" t)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Cluster" t)

        leSetObjectSelectable("ruler" nil )

        leSetObjectSelectable("Acknowledge Warning" nil)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Annotation" nil)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Critical Error" nil)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Error" nil)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Fatal" nil)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Info" nil)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Signed Off Critical Error" nil)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Signed Off Error" nil)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Warning" nil)
        leSetObjectSelectable("Markers" nil)
    )

    deRegUserTriggers("maskLayout" nil nil 'MyPostInstallTrigger)
    deRegUserTriggers("maskLayoutXL" nil nil 'MyPostInstallTrigger)
