can multiple functionality's assigned to same bindkey

Hi Raghu,

Isn't that just a matter of having your function look at the layer of the shape that is selected, and if it's on metal1 move to metal2, if on metal2 move to metal3 and so on? It sounds like a single function to me that just needs to look at the data.

Otherwise how is it going to know what the current "state" of the data is?

Regards,

Andrew.

Sorry Andrew . I couldn't explain my question exactly. I am not doing the metal layer change as said above.

Normally If i press one bindkey it runs  procedure and executes the skill  . Now I want to  stay inside  procedure  till i press ESC key (eg ; leHiRepeatCopy()) till the time inside procedure I should run different functionalities using same or different bindkeys .Is this possible ? Hope I conveyed it now a bit better. Please let me know

Thanks,

Raghu

For repeated commands like this you'd probably need to use an enterFunction of some sort to prompt you do to something. It's not really very clear what you're trying to do.

Hi Andrew ,

I need an example how to use enterFunction .

Thanks,

Raghu

I am writing a procedure, which  I will call using  a bindkey. I want to stay inside the procedure and waiting for other key presses, based on which, it will execute sub functions upon if condition inside the same procedure. There will be one key  for eg, "ESC" which should get come out of everything. Basically i want to know how to stay inside a procedure waiting for my next keypress.

Thanks,

Raghu

Search in the forums for (say) enterPoints - that will give you a number of different examples using one of the enter functions. There are a number of other enterFunctions (all of which begin with "enter" - so you can find them in cdsFinder and in the documentation).

Hi Andrew,

We should only use the existing enterFunctions available ? . Can't we write user defined  functions  & use it ?

Thanks,

Raghu

Hi Raghu,

It makes no sense to write your own enterFunctions. These are built-in functions which prompt you to enter a point, a box, a path etc. You can of course call these from within your own functions, but the whole point is that they are the interface for you to digitise things and interactively enter points etc.

I suspect you're not understanding what the point of enter functions is...
