How to unload a skill script from CIW window?

Leonardo Vinci

Hi, i have loaded a binkey skill script in CIW, like this:

loadi "root/user/bindkey.il"

Now, i want to UNLOAD the script from CIW without closing the Cadence session. Right now, i am doing this by closing and again re-opening the Cadence application, which consumes time. 

Thanks, LEO

    There is (to my knowledge) no Cadence-supplied means to unload/undo the arbitrary effects of a load("some/file.il"), but you can always load the default bindkeys:

      load(prependInstallPath("samples/local/schBindKeys.il"))

      load(prependInstallPath("samples/local/leBindKeys.il"))

    Interestingly, the CIW > Options > Bindkeys does not appear to provide an option to "Revert to defaults".

    Tom, you're right. There's no such thing as an "unload" command. Perhaps Leo could explain precisely what he's expecting to be undone by this mythical unload command?

    Andrew.

    Andrew,

    I want to use my bindkeys by loading my bindkey.il script in CIW window. But after loading, i want to undo all the changed made by my bindkey.il script to the default(ie. i want to unload the bindkey.il script which i loaded earlier) without closing the cadence application. I do this now by closing and again starting the the cadence application session, which takes time. 

    And not only bindkeys script, is there any way to unload the script file which we have already loaded in the CIW? 

    Regards,

    LEO
