bindkey to toggle between leHiMarkNet() and leHiUnmarkNet()

mdydyz112

Hi all, 

I want to implement a (only 1) bindkey to toggle between leHiMarkNet() and  leHiUnmarkNet(). I am not sure how to find out whether or not the current cell view has a net that is being mark by leHiMarkNet(). 

I have a idea, but not sure if it will work. Please share your thought and idea if you have another one.

1. check if previous cmd is leHiMarkNet()

2. if yes, then do leHiUnmarkNet(), if no then do leHiMarkNet()

but i am not sure how to find out previous cmd used. If you have any other idea, please share.

Many thanks

  • Hi,

    If the current window does not have a flag set with markNets then you can set it by yourself.

    if(hiGetCurrentWindow()~>markedNets then

      hiGetCurrentWindow()~>markedNets = nil

      leHiMarkNet()

    else

      hiGetCurrentWindow()~>markedNets = t

      leHiUnmarkNet()

    )

    Ramakrishnan's suggestion of using a flag on the window object to keep track of the toggle state is the best you can do given that there isn't really something to tell you whether anything is marked or not.

    However, the request is a bit odd. The functions both prompt you to click on a net to mark (or unmark) - so they're not really opposites. What if you don't click on a net and hit escape? What if you've marked two nets and then only one when you're in "unmark" mode of the toggle? That would be a rather odd use model.

    I could (almost) understand it if you wanted to toggle between leHiMarkNet() and leHiUnmarkNetAll() - that makes (slightly) more sense. Of course, if you use the menu instead of your bindkey, it would get out of sync with the toggle status, but that would mean you just need to press the bindkey again to get back in sync.

    Regards,
