    Hi Guru,

    Every mouse click in the layout is already recorded - take a look at the CDS.log file for each point as it is entered, with the command, for example:

    
\a addPoint(hiGetCommandPoint())
\i 0.2535:0.588
\r t
\r t
\a hiZoomAbsoluteScale(hiGetCurrentWindow() 0.9)
\r t
\a mouseSingleSelectPt()
\i 0.137:1.101
\r t

    If you really want to print every left-click in the CIW then you can change the bindkey setting for the left-mouse click operation, something like this:

    
    procedure(printPoint() printf("=> %L\n" hiGetCommandPoint()))
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "None<Btn1Down>" "printPoint() mouseSingleSelectPt()")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "None<Btn1Down>EF" "printPoint() mouseAddPt()")

    You would also need to probably do the same for the Shift + left-click and other combinations.

    Hopefully this helps you.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
