Multiple press functions bind key

RezaAMD

Hi,

I need to make a feature for a bind key in such a way that at the first press it turn on all M0 layers , at second press turn of some of the layers and at third press turn off all M0 layers.

M0 is just an example and I know how to create a normal bind key. I am using VIRTUOSO V12.3

Thanks.

    I'd probably keep some kind of state variable (maybe as a variable, or maybe as a property on the window) so that you can have a function which essentially does something different in each of these states, and when you press the key it cycles around the value of the current state. It's easy enough. 

    Something like:

    MYlayerStates=makeTable('layerStates 0)
    procedure(MYcycleLayerDisplay(layerName)
      let((newState (allPurposes '("drawing" "label" "pin" "net")))
        newState=mod(MYlayerStates[layerName]+1 3)
        MYlayerStates[layerName]=newState
        case(newState
          (0 foreach(purpose allPurposes leSetLayerVisible(list(layerName purpose) nil)))
          (1 foreach(purpose allPurposes leSetLayerVisible(list(layerName purpose) t)))
          (2 foreach(purpose '("label" "net") leSetLayerVisible(list(layerName purpose) nil)))
        )
      )
    )

    Then you can put MYcycleLayerDisplay("M0") on your bindkey.
