Help me! Skill Experts!

Hi, All!

I'm basic layout engineer.

Today, I made a skill script for layout metal layer on & off.

But, it's not run.

I don't know the reason.

Please, help me!

p.s> I use cadence IC6.1.5

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

procedure(view()

 leSetLayerVisible(list(\"M1\" \"drawing\") t)

 leSetLayerVisible(list(\"M2\" \"drawing\") t)

 hiRedraw()

) ;procedure

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

call bindkey setting

hiSetBindKeys("Layout" list(

list("Ctrl<Key>1"   "view()")

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CIW error message

 *Error* view : too few arguments (at least 1 expected, 0 given) - nil

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In general we would recommend that any customer-written global functions use a prefix, ideally beginning with an uppercase letter (since uppercase prefixes are not used by Cadence) - to avoid clashing with other similar functions.

    As has been mentioned, view() is a Cadence-provided function and is write protected, so your function definition would fail.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
