SKILL API to toggle display of cdsParam label on instance in schematic

giangle2k

Hi Andrew,

I would like to not display (or toggle the display) some of the cdsParam label on the instance in schematic.  I understand that the annotation can be toggled in Annotation Setup form.  Is there SKILL API that can perform the same?

I searched the forum, and found similar question posted 8 years ago and answered by Lawrence, but only suggested to use the Annotation Setup GUI only.

Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Giang,

    There's no SKILL API to directly control individual label display via the annotation system (there's CCR 1550581 for this - if you would like this too, you should contact customer support and ask for a duplicate to be filed on your behalf).

    If you want something similar to the View->Hide Instance Labels, but just hide all cdsParam labels, then you could use the code from this post and then:

    abSetLayerVisible(?layer "annotate")

    To make them visible again:

    abSetLayerVisible(?layer "annotate" ?visible t)

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,

    I think your suggestion to off the display of the "annotation" layer works in the case that if we want all the cdsParam labels all displayed or not.  I am looking for just able to turn on/off couple cdsParam labels only, just like we can able to do it in Annotation Setup form.  And I would like to do it through SKILL so I can bind it a key for quick toggling.

    Anyway, I have contacted support to request adding my request to the CCR you mentioned.

    Thank you for replying.
