Skill solution for smartSnap in layout

ssram

Hi,

Most of the layout functions have now got a smartSnap option. 

For example:

for "leHiCreateRect()", we have the following to turn the smartSnap on/off

leRectXLForm->rectSmartSnapEnable->value= t

leRectXLForm->rectSmartSnapEnable->value= nil

for "leHiCreateRuler", we have the following to turn the snap option on/off

ruler->rulerSnapOff->checked=t

ruler->rulerSnapEdges->checked=t

So, i was thinking if i could set a global bindkey to turn the smartSnap on/off for all such functions. What i mean is, when the "leHiCreateRect()" is active pressing the bindkey for example "Shift<Key>s" would toggle the smartSnap for it on/off and if the function "leHiCreateRuler" is active, the same bindkey "Shift<Key>s" would toggle the smartSnap on/off for it.

Can anyone help out with a SKILL solution? I think its a good to have feature built in Cadence tool itself.

Thanks

Ram

    I'm not sure what version is IC18.7 (there's no such version), but I think you could call this function on a bind key - and it could be extended for other commands potentially:

    procedure(CCFtoggleSnap(@optional (win hiGetCurrentWindow()))
  let((current)
    case(hiGetCurrentCmd(win)
      ("Ruler"
        current=ruler->rulerSnapOff->checked
        ruler->rulerSnapOff->checked=!current
        ruler->rulerSnapEdges->checked=current
      )
      ("Rectangle"
        leSetEnv("rectSmartSnapEnable" !leGetEnv("rectSmartSnapEnable"))
      )
    )
  )
)

    Simply load the code, and then have CCFtoggleSnap() on your bind key.

    Andrew.
