Executing sequential commands in Virtuoso

Hello,

I am interested to execute sequential commands to move objects for demonstration purposes. I need to show an object MOVE, wait few seconds and another object MOVE, etc...

I am using ipcBeginProcess(N) + pcWait(cid) commands to create a SLEEP functionality between commands. 

The main goal is to perform the next sequence:

1. Move an object (For Example: A rectangle of M1) to a certain location.

2. Wait 3 seconds

3. Move another object to another location.

4. Wait 3 seconds.

5. Move another object to another location.

.

.

The issue: Currently I am not getting a delay between commands. Instead, Virtuoso waits the entire sum of all delays and then executes all MOVE commands at the same time. There is no delay between move commands.

I tried using sleep(N) function and I am getting the same results. Somehow the delay is executed once and all objects move at the same time after the delay.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Danny

Here is the code:

procedure(moveOBJ()
let((mySelSet x cv i cid)

cv=geGetEditCellView()

CCSselectNet("NET1")
mySelSet=geGetSelSet()

printf( "\nMoving NET1\n")

foreach(x mySelSet
dbMoveFig(x cv list(0:0.021 "R0" 1))
)

geDeselectAllObject(cv)

;-----------------------------

; WAIT 3 SECONDS

cid=ipcBeginProcess("sleep 3")
ipcWait(cid)

;-----------------------------

CCSselectNet("NET2")
mySelSet=geGetSelSet()
printf( "\nMoving NET2\n")

foreach(x mySelSet

dbMoveFig(x cv list(0.002:0 "R0" 1))

)

geDeselectAllObject(cv)

;-----------------------------

; WAIT 3 SECONDS

cid=ipcBeginProcess("sleep 3")
ipcWait(cid)

;-----------------------------

CCSselectNet("NET3")
mySelSet=geGetSelSet()
printf( "\nMoving NET3\n")

foreach(x mySelSet

dbMoveFig(x cv list(0:0.007 "R0" 1))

)

geDeselectAllObject(cv)

;-----------------------------

);let
);proc
