Selecting Instance one after other

Neeraj Vardhan

Hi,

I would like to select instances in a specific order and save the order. I want to use a bindkey which will help me select both in schematic or in layout to select instances in a specific order. 

 Regards

Neeraj

    The Forum Guidelines tell you not to cross-post in multiple forums, so please don't do that.

    It's not that clear what you want - but can't you just do shift-left mouse click to add onto the selection one at a time, and then geGetSelSet() will return the objects in the order you want. If you want to get info about the selected instances, you could do:

    geGetSelSet()~>w

    or if you wanted to get the instance name, w and l properties, you could do:

    instInfo=foreach(mapcar inst geGetSelSet() list(inst~>name inst~>w inst~>l))

    In my case, that returns:

    (("NM11" "1.2u" "280n")
        ("NM10" "1.2u" "280n")
        ("NM7" "1.2u" "280n")
        ("NM6" "1.2u" "280n")
    )

    which was the order I selected them in.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
