Open ADE-XL in graphical mode via SKILL

mschw

Hello,

is there a SKILL command  to open a ADE-XL view, so that a new ADE-XL window will be shown? So basically I need the underlaying SKILL command when someone double-clicks on a ADE-XL view in the Library-Manager.

Kind regards,

Matthias

  • Ok, I found it out myself.It can be done using e.g. geOpen(?lib "myLib" ?cell "myCell" ?view "adexl").

    When an ADE-XL view is opened, it can be opened either in read mode or in edit mode. Is it possible to toggle between these two options in an already opened ADE-XL view? (similar to the function File-> Make editable / File-> Make read-only within the schematic or layout editor). Since this is not a graphics window, the function geChangeEditMode ("r") cannot be used.
    Kind regards,
    Matthias

    No. There is a large number of requests for this, but unfortunately it's a considerable amount of work to enable it. The database and structures are a lot more complicated than in schematic and layout, and changing the mode on the fly is much harder.

    Not sure it's currently planned - but it is often requested.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
