Error while setting a Bindkey!!!

Bharath,

I'm surprised that this was not obvious - you've got a bindkey expression which contains quotation marks (") and then you expect to just be able to surround the whole expression with quotation marks and it just works? How would it know that the string should not end just before the word "schematic"?

What you need is to escape the embedded quotation marks:

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>F1"  "(geOpen ?cell (getEditRep)~>cellName ?view \"schematic\" ?mode \"r\" ?lib (getEditRep)~>libName)")

Whilst I'm at it, getEditRep() is an obsolete function which was provided with compatibility with Edge (i.e. DF1). Since that release came out in about 1991, things have moved on since then...

The function is no longer documented, and you should use geGetEditCellView() or geGetWindowCellView() instead - which you pick depends on whether you want the cellView being edited, or the cellView displayed in the window (the difference is only apparent when using edit-in-place).

Andrew.

You are fantastic as always Andrew!!

Yes!! I have changed the getEditRep() function as you mentioned!!

Bharath.

Hi Andrew,

can you please let me know the equvilatent/correct version for this command(hiSetDoubleClickTime) and where to find these kind of functions.

hiSysProps->hiSetDoubleClickTime->value="304 (This is not the correct one, but I wanted to implement one like this)

Thanks,

Bharath.

In this specific case it is hiSetMultiClickTime(304) . You can find hiSetMultiClickTime in the documentation (search in cdnshelp).

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew ,

  One more clarification required!!!

How do you get the selected via coulmn value. I have this piece of code, which is not working in IC6.1.5. Can you let me know the relative commands for 6.1.5

I am trying to increase the colum count by 1 with this code!!

procedure(inc_via_col()
prog((selsetvia)
cv=geGetEditCellView()
selvia=geGetSelectedSet()
foreach(viaid selvia
column_prop=car(setof(x viaid~>prop x~>name=="column"))
if((column_prop~>value==nil) then
 (column_value=2
  )
 )
if((column_prop~>value!=nil) then
column_value=column_prop~>value+1

)

dbSetq(viaid column_value column)
)
)
)

Is there a way we can chat with Cadence support people online??

There are numerous similar posts in the forum, but this would do it:

procedure(inc_via_col()
  foreach(via geGetSelSet()
    when(via~>objType=="stdVia"
      via~>cutColumns=via~>cutColumns+1
    )
  )
)

Oh, and "chatting" online? Well, we do have customer support, but not a general "chat" scheme. Bear in mind that those Cadence folks who respond here are doing so in their spare time - this is not the official customer support channel.

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

 I really appreciate your support in this forums. I wish cadence get a dedicated online chat support in future. It would really help us!

Thanks,

Bharath.
