How to get the actual PathForm number in IC 6.1

Laur9

 Hi,

we use in our tool for setting the path width a hard coded Form number like this

 le0PathForm->pathWidth->value

but sometimes it doesn't work because the Form number becomes le1PathForm for example.

How can we deal with this situation ?

 

Regards

    Hi Laurent,

    There is a function to get a property list of technology-specific forms, leGetTechFormList.

    So for example:

    leGetTechFormList(techGetTechFile(geGetEditCellView()))

    returns:

    (nil subpartForm formStruct@0x1915e658 pinSetNameDisplayForm formStruct@0x18e893d8
    pathForm formStruct@0x18e89388 layGenLayer3Field cyclicStruct@0x18e89318 layGenLayer2Field
    cyclicStruct@0x18e89308 layGenLayer1Field cyclicStruct@0x18e892f8 unmarkNetForm formStruct@0x18e892e8
    markNetForm formStruct@0x18e89288 labelForm formStruct@0x18e891a8 copyForm
    formStruct@0x18e89118 moveForm formStruct@0x18e890e8
    )

    pathForm=leGetTechFormList(techGetTechFile(geGetEditCellView()))->pathForm

    then I can do:

    pathForm->hiFormSym => le0PathForm

    Or you can just interact with the form by storing it in a variable, as shown above.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
