How can drop an auto via?

Make your bind key have these three space-separated commands:

leSetEnv("viaMode" "Auto") hiEnqueueCmd("hiToggleEnterForm()") leHiCreateVia()

Regards,

Andrew.

I was trying to add the bindkey as:

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>KP_Enter" "leSetEnv("viaMode" "Auto") hiEnqueueCmd("hiToggleEnterForm()") leHiCreateVia()")

But this seems to be not working for me! But if i execute just the line that you have sent in CIW, it works. Is there something that i'm missing?

Thanks

Hi Sooraj,

You will need to escape the double quotes within the callback string, e.g.

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "KP_Enter" "leSetEnv(\"viaMode\" \"Auto\") hiEnqueueCmd(\"hiToggleEnterForm()\") leHiCreateVia()")

Best regards,

Lawrence.

Oops! My bad... Thanks Lawrence, this works!

I cant be this silly :-(

Hi Lawrence,  

what if I wanted to change also other default environment values in the form e.g. I want to select with drawn box instead of single select point?  Can I have two leSetEnv commands inside of the hiSetBindkey?

Hi lrlsk,

Yes, you can have more than one leSetEnv() calls. Which options are you talking about - you can already draw the area with the middle mouse button using the bind key you have above (with Lawrence's corrections) (at least in IC616 ISR14). Not sure which version you're talking about either.

So please be specific about what you want...

Regards,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the quick reply and sorry that I forgot to mention I am using IC6.16 -64b version.  I tried the middle click and it works perfect. the only problem is I have a roller type middle mouse button so it rolls if I use it as push button.  I am talking about the option when you are already in via mode "auto"  there is sub option to choose between "by Single Point"  or "by Drawn Area".   By default it is on by Single Point  so I would like to shift it to "by Drawn Area" so I can still use my LMB to draw the selection box (That's how I believe it would behave but I'm not sure though)

But this is sub option inside of another option so it might not be directly accessible via leSetEnv function.

leSetEnv("viaMode" "Auto") leSetEnv("viaAutoQueryBy" "Drawn Area") leSetEnv("viaSelectAreaType" "selectRectArea") hiEnqueueCmd("hiToggleEnterForm()") leHiCreateVia()

or if you want polygon area selection:

leSetEnv("viaMode" "Auto") leSetEnv("viaAutoQueryBy" "Drawn Area") leSetEnv("viaSelectAreaType" "selectPolygonArea") hiEnqueueCmd("hiToggleEnterForm()") leHiCreateVia()

Note that there's a bit of a problem where the F3 options form doesn't update to reflect the env var settings, but it does appear to work. Note also that these choices don't show up on the form by default either - you have to be using the "early access" option to get them (not going to mention that here, because that's something we generally speak to specific customers about).

Regards,

Andrew.
