Stacked objects

insolentjester

Is there a way to cycle through stacked objects? As in if I have multiple layers stacked on top of one another, I can mouse over the objects, then hit something like tab or space and cycle through the objects under the cursor and when I click the current object will be selected?

  • Which version are you using?

    In IC61X, you can just keep clicking and it will cycle through the available objects under the cursor. Or you can do Right Mouse->(De)Select under cursor->... (you'll see a set of dynamically generated choices). Or you can use Window->Assistants->Dynamic Selection, move your cursor over the shape, use ctrl-H (by default the bindkey) to freeze the choices in the dynamic selection window, and you can then pick the appropriate shape in the dynamic selection assistant (ctrl-H again to unfreeze).

    In IC5141, there's a bindkey (it's there in IC61 too) where you can select one of the shapes, and do Ctrl-Y repeatedly to cycle through all the other selection choices.

    Andrew.

  • I am in IC61X. To be honest I'm new to this environment and tool setup (coming from cadworks) so I did not know about this. I think this will suffice for what I am doing. I do not have a ctrl-Y bindkey so could you give me the command that it runs for you so I can map it. And thank you very much for this information!! :-)

    Edit: Is there a way to be able to select a signal in a leaf cell within a hierarchy?

  • HI Bryan,

    The default binding for Ctrl-Y is "geCycleSelectNext()".

    Regards,
