is there a way to see changes on layout in real time?

VadimBorisov

Hello all,

I just want to ask a simple question is there a way to see changes on layout view in real time, I mean my SKILL scripts doing a lot of stuff, can I see the whole process, not the result? 

Kind regards,

Vadim

  • Hi Vadim,

    The effect/results of various SKILL commands typically *are* seen immediately in an open layout. However, if you are doing a lot of intensive operations the graphics may not update until after the commands have finished, probably as an efficient way to handle graphical updates, waiting for the next 'idle' CPU time before refreshing. You could insert some hiRedraw() commands to try to force the graphics to update every so often, between chunks of code.

    I hope that this helps.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
