<DrawThru3> EF -- First function is deactivated after this call.

MikeRVT

Hello Gents/Ladies.

I hope someone can identify my problem.

When I execute a move command on an object in the schematic, I like to rotate the object using the right click button.  However, sometimes during the right click I move the mouse and thus execute the DrawThru3 function instead of the rotate.

 To fix this I overrode the DrawThru3 function as shown below.  However, once the rotate is done during a DrawThru3 execution, the move command is no longer active.  For some reason when the DrawThru3 extended function is executed the original function seems to be disabled.  Any idea how I can prevent this behavior?

hiSetBindKeys( "Schematics" list(

list("<DrawThru3> EF"   "schSetEnv(\"rotate\" t)") 

)) 

Thanks,

-- Mike

    There is actually an "Enter function" threshold in 6.1.5. For each mouse button, you can set the distance traveled (in some arbitrary number unit) before the movement is considered a drag. Cadence defaults are 500, 10, 10 (m1, m2, m3). The smaller the number, the more likely you'll zoom by accident.

    hiGetEFDrawThruDelta() by default returns (500 10 10). This means the min drag dist with mouse1

    pressed during an EF (enter function), will be 500 (not sure what unit) before it is considered a drawThru bindkey.

    For mouse2 and mouse3 it is only 10 which can be annoying. Try setting these to 200 or higher.

    hiSetEFDrawThruDelta(200 2)

    hiSetEFDrawThruDelta(200 3)
