Skill script for creating a selactable area

RFStuff
RFStuff over 12 years ago

 Dear All,

For selecting an object we use "leSelBoxOrStretch()". This happens automatically if one does a left click on the mouse and releases it. The created virtual rectangular area selects the object inside it. This way it becomes difficult to accurately select the objects as the objects may not be accomodated in the zoomed area.

So what I actually want is as  follows:-

I will click ( left click in the mouse)  one point ( this will be let's say one corner of the rectangle), then I will go to other corner of the desired area and click the mouse and will fix the other diagonal corner of the rectangle. Then the objects which arefully coming inder this area will be selected.

Could anybody please tell, how it can be done.

Kind Regards,

    I suggest you add a print statement at the top of each bindkey file to see when they get loaded during your startup. It sounds like the Cadence bindkey file is getting loaded last. At the top of each file, add something like:

    println("In the Cadence defaults")

    println("In my defaults")

    Once you figure this out, adjust the order of when things are loaded.
