Open Layout View to spec'd configuration

jaleco

Does anyone know how to code the opening of a layout view to a specific window size and location (on the user's monitor) so the user does not have to resize each view opened from the Library Manager?

Searched for this topic but did not see a related thread.

I used to be able to configure this with Mentor Graphics apps, but do not see how to do it in Cadence....would be very nice to have.

    Hi,

    You are close, but when a bounding box is returned to you, it is not quite the same format used to specify the same (I will show an example shortly).  If a bounding box is returned by a function, then that return value can be used directly as input to another function that accepts a bounding box format in its input.  Here is how you would specify a bounding box:

      leResizeLSW('((0 0) (158 1170)))
  leSetLSWBBox(list(list(0 0) list(150 2000)))
  leResizeLSW(list(0:0 158:1170))

    Hopefully the examples will help; the bounding box is a list of lists structure. The first example uses the single quote to prevent the SKILL interpreter from evaluating what is in the parentheses, and so this would return the list of lists structure exactly as written. In the second example I used the list function to create the list and sub-lists. In the third example I use the ":" range operator to generate the sub-lists and the list function to make the top-most list. Do not attempt to use a combination of '() with the list function or the range operator inside the parentheses as this will not give what you want since the items inside the parentheses would not be evaluated (and you want the list or range functions to work).

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
