Setting up the Bind key .

anola123

I want one key to toggle the visibility (between visible/ invisible) of metal ( say <Key>1 for M1). I used " hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>1" "leSetLayerVisible(\"M1\" t)") " this code to make it visible. Now, how can use the same key to make it invisible ??

  • Hi,

    You could consider writing a toggle function, or do it directly in the bindkey, e.g.

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>1" "pteSetVisible(\"M1 drawing\" !pteIsVisible(\"M1 drawing\" pteGetCurrentPanel()) pteGetCurrentPanel())")

    Looks like Derek beat me to it, but this solution is slightly different as it uses the pte* prefix functions.  I'd write this as a function that accepts the layer as an argument and then you could use the same function for any layer, something like:

    procedure(CCFToggleLayer(layer "t")
    pteSetVisible(strcat(layer " drawing")
      !pteIsVisible(strcat(layer " drawing") pteGetCurrentPanel())
      pteGetCurrentPanel())
    )

    Then your bindkey action string would be "CCFToggleLayer(\"M1\")"

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
