How to open particular schematic or layout with shortcut key

GDCRA

Hi

I have too many schematic libraries and layout libraries with many cells. I was wondering if I can set up shortcut key to open a particular schematic or layout ?. 

Thanks

  • Of course. First thing I would say that if it's a set of recent cells, you can just use the history under the File menu in the CIW. If you want to define bind keys, you simply need to define a key (for an application or for the CIW) which calls geOpen() with the right arguments.

    Andrew.

  • Thanks Andrew. I could open given cellview by using function geOpen() through CIW..
    My understanding is bindkey can be set to work from schematic, layout or symbol view. Lets say I have no window open (neither any schematic, layout or symbol view). Is there way I can just bring my CIW window front and use my set bindkey to open particular schematic or layout ?
  • Bindkeys can also be set to work from the CIW. The following is an example of a bindkey set to open basic/GND/symbol in read mode with the bindkey set to F12 in the CIW:
    hiSetBindKey("Command Interpreter" "<Key>F12" "geOpen(?lib \"basic\" ?cell \"GND\" ?view \"symbol\" ?viewType \"schematicSymbol\" ?mode \"r\")")
