Trigger a Skill Code by Selecting/Deselecting an Instance in Schematic

mapReduce

Hello,

Is there a way to call-back a user defined skill code after I select an instance in schematic. I found a similar question on this forum but they suggest using leRegUserLayerSelectionFilter. This function seems to create a user-defined filter option which is not exactly what I want.

Thanks!

    Hi

    The "leRegUserLayerSelectionFilter" is a Layout Editor function only as pointed out by @henkl. There is no equivalent in Schematic. However, what you are looking for is very easy with a custom Bindkey that redefines the deault selection bindkey. Here is an example where I'm overriding the LMB click for single selection with a custom function that does the selection and prints a message to the CIW about the instance being slected, here is the code.

    ; Define a custom function that overloads schSingleSelectPt()

    procedure(mySingleSelectPt()

      let((inst)

        ; Use the original selection function

        schSingleSelectPt()

        ; Print info about the selected Instance

        inst=car(geGetSelectedSet())

        printf("Instance %s (%s/%s)\n" inst~>name inst~>libName inst~>cellName)

      )

    )

    ; Redifine the bindkey. I always suggest to check the bindkey override

    ; from CIW -> Options -> Bindkeys. or with SKILL using

    ; hiGetBindKey("Schematics" "None<Btn1Down>")

    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "None<Btn1Down>" "mySingleSelectPt()")

    Cheers,

    Riad.
