Wavescan bindkey shortcuts

shayansh

Hi,

I am trying to create some shortcuts for wavescan to perform different functions. Is it possible to bind a key to change the selected plot to "bold", or to display the simulations points as well? Usually i create my bindkeys by studying the log in the main CIW window, but for the plotter, nothing shows up in the main window. 

 Thanks,

Shayan

    Shayan,

    May not be possible, but which version are you using? (as the forum guidelines suggest you provide)

    Shayan,

    You can turn symbols on using something like this:

    hiSetBindKey("wavescan" "None<key>s" "graph.trace.symbolson")

    but turning "all" points on, or enabling bold doesn't appear to be possible (they're not available via menus, but on the trace properties form).

    Andrew.

     Hi Andrew,

    I am now using version 6.1.5.500.11, i was wondering if there is any way to do it? It seems there is more support for bindkeys in this version, but i am not sure how to find the commands. If there is a way to do it using ocean script that would also be good. If you can point me in the right direction I can do all the reading and testing on my own. I looked through the cadence help documents, but no luck. The best i can do is set the axis limits using ocean code.

    Thanks,

    Shayan

    Shayan,

    There is still only limited support for bindkeys in ViVA in IC615. We consciously chose to not document the API until things had settled down - as it has been a major change - so that the functions do not have to be supported for ever until they have been solidified.

    You can see the current bindkeys with the bindkey editor.

    If there's particular things you want, you should contact customer support.

    Andrew.

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anything had changed regarding using bindkeys in wavescan? It would be great to have a bindkey to display the points or to change the color of an added graph label, etc. 

    I am now using Cadence version:

    ICADV12.1-64b.500.13

    Thanks a lot!

    Shayan
