Edit in place to specific instance

Hi Paul,

So are you saying that this is not just one level of hierarchy - you need to pick a particular path down through the hierarchy (so picking the top level instance may not help)?

If so, the leEditInPlace() function takes a list describing the hierarchical path down to the instance you want.

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew, 

I used to get a list for the hierarchical path to a particular shape by clicking on it after invoking leHiEditInPlace() - this allowed me to get an idea of where that shape sits throughout the hierarchy and gave me the ability to select which level I want to descend into from that list. However, I'm not seeing this in my new team's environment. Was this only available in older versions, or is there an option that I need to tweak somewhere? 

I'm using ICADVM18.1-64b.NY_ISR10_SUPPORT.2

Thanks, Fari

Hi Fari,

There's a (currently private) cdsenv variable to control this. I'm not sure why it's still undocumented, so I will ask that when I'm back at work next week.

Hi Fari,

I checked, and product engineering have said that this should be documented (I filed CCR 2319210 to make it public and documented). To enable it, you can use:

envSetVal("layout" "descendEIPPopupSelectionWindow" 'cyclic "fullform")

You can also use "shortform" as an alternative - this gives a smaller form with a bit less information. The default is "off" (there's one other choice "highlightedobject" but I don't think that's what you want).

Andrew.
