Toggle Instances Selectable With One Bindkey

buttonGuy

Hello,

I am new to skill and my problem is as follows: in Layout, there is an Objects palette that contains the visible & selectable options for Shapes, Instances, Fluid Guardring, Mosaic, Pins, Vias, etc. I want to be able to toggle the Selectable checkbox of the “Instances” with the use of a single bindkey. Currently, I have two bind keys set to make it selectable and not selectable:

z bindkey: _pteHiObjectSetSelectability(dwindow(‘pteObjectPalette2) “Instances” nil)·

Shift+z bindkey: _pteHiObjectSetSelectability(dwindow(‘pteObjectPalette2) “Instances” t)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks!

    Hi,

    If you are using IC616 there is a public function for what you are trying to do 

    pteSetSelectable("Instances" nil "Objects") ;; turn off instance selectability

pteSetSelectable("Instances" t "Objects") ;; turn on instance selectability

    So you can combine this with a query for the current selectability and use this in a toggle, something like this:

    pteSetSelectable("Instances" !pteIsSelectable("Instances" "Objects") "Objects") ;; toggle instance selectability

    Hopefully this is what you are looking for, or very close.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
