leZoomToSelSet doesn't work when opening a schematic

strotta

Hi guys, I will really appreciate if someone give me a hand.

I have this simple test but I don't know why is not working as expected

        myCell = deOpenCellView(projName cellToOpen "schematic" "" hiGetSessionWindow(hiGetCurrentWindow()) "r")

        myInst=setof(x myCell~>cellView~>instances x~>cellName=="patternName")

        mapcar('geSelectFig myInst)

        leZoomToSelSet()

The idea is to open a schematic(cellToOpen) and find all the instances that match with "patternName". After that, I would like to zoom-in on the instance that was found (if it was just one).

If I run the code line by line it seems to work but I don't know why not when I run it in a row. It seems there is an automatic zoom-to-fit after leZoomToSelSet() call..not sure

Thanks!

    Hi,

    Just to be sure what you do - you have the cell projName/cellToOpen opened in a graphic window already (for example a layout editor) haven't you?
    I'am also not sure what you mean by "when I run it in a row" - are you saying you copy and paste the entire code  into the CIW or load it in terms of a load() statement. For me it works in both ways.
    I also don't understand why you use a layout function (leZoomToSelect) while you are in a schematic editor. You should use schHiZoomToSelSet() instead.

    No, that's reason why I'm using deOpenCellView. However, if I do this (window already open):

    myCell = geGetEditCellView()

    myInst=setof(x myCell~>instances x~>cellName=="patterName")

    mapcar('geSelectFig myInst)

    leZoomToSelSet()    ;or schHiZoomToSelSet() 

    code works fine. there is something wrong related to opening a new window.

    yes

    I also tried with schHiZoomToSelSet() but it didn't work
