How to set ADE-XL/Maestro to a given position and size

netbug

Hi all,

I would like, whenever I open an ade-xl/maestro session, to center the window and resize it to a given width x height.

This is because I am using two displays as one and don't want every time I maximize the window, for it to span across both screens. So it would be handy to customize size and position.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Pedro

    This one is off-topic.

    Have you ever thought of writing a book about SKILL? I would buy it. :-)

    Hi Pedro,

    I've considered it - the main challenge would be finding the time. Writing a book takes quite a bit of time and juggling that with all the other things I do would be a challenge. Many years ago I considered (and started) co-writing a book on another EDA topic, but it was just going to be a huge time sync. Maybe I'll have another think about it (no promises!).

    Anyway, if you've not seen it, maybe in the meantime this video of a webinar I presented last year might be of interest: Writing Good SKILL Code

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for answering. :-)

    I really hope that, someday, you'll find the time to write the book. From my point of view, having a book on this subject would be a very big plus for all community.

    Regarding the video, I haven't seen it yet, but I will.

    Best regards,

    Pedro
